They showed that surface passivation of perovskite top cells is possible on textured silicon, the type already used in mass ...

Solar panels are made with toxic materials, including cadmium, lead, and hexafluorosilicic acid. Manufacturing also involves high-temperature furnaces, dangerous acids, and waste byproducts that are ...

Further details of the setup and the results are provided in the study “ Outdoor implied open-circuit voltage imaging of perovskite solar cells using sunlight excitation,” published in Joule.

The Chinese manufacturer said its Bycium+ PV cell achieved an open-circuit voltage of 748.6 mV. The result was confirmed by Germany’s Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hamelin.

JA Solar's Bycium+ cell has achieved a significant breakthrough, reaching a new high in cell efficiency and setting a new record with an open-circuit voltage of 748.6mV - the highest in the ...
