UNSW researchers boosted TOPCon solar cell efficiency by locally thinning the rear poly-Si layer, reducing parasitic absorption while preserving wafer integrity. The champion cell built with this ...

EnPV GmbH, a subsidiary of German energy provider EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, has unveiled a solar cell based on n-type tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPcon) technology and a new kind of ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

says Xun Xiao. The next step for the researchers is to develop the method for larger scale use in an industrial process. In the long term, they believe that perovskite solar cells can play an ...
