🌍 Are you ready? The leading international photovoltaics conference EU PVSEC opens its doors on Monday 23 September in Vienna, Austria. Every year, this is the must-attend event for solar science and industry. 🌞 Our experts are excited to present the latest results from our laboratories! 🔬 With CEA and INES authors contributing to nearly 40 presentations, a delegation of 20 researchers will represent us this year. And as it would take too long to list all the highlights, here's our programme for Monday to help you get started: ✨ On Monday, don't miss: Eszter Voroshazi's overview of photovoltaic module technologies in the plenary session (AP.1): [Module Technology Overview - A Manufacturing Perspective]. Our presentations on processes for high-efficiency silicon cells (session 1AO.5) by Adrien Danel and Adeline Lanterne: ➡ [Thermal Pre-treatment of as Cut Wafers for high-efficiency Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells] in partnership with ENEL, and ➡ [Copper-based Metallization Approaches for Drastic Reduction of Silver Content in Heterojunction Solar Cells] in partnership with CSEM. Romain Cariou's contributions to the session on photovoltaics for space applications (2AO.3): ➡ [Towards a Robust Silicon PV Technology for Space] and ➡ [Carrier recombination in Ga-doped Silicon with Space Representative Electron Irradiations: Influence of the Material Composition] in partnership with CNES. Also at the end of the day (session 4AO.9), the Ioannis Tsanakas talk: ➡ [Quality Assurance from Laboratory to Field: Novel Test Solutions for Soiling-Prone PV Systems] in partnership with QPV, ENTEC SOLAR, GALP ENERGIA, and CNR. 💡 Many more topics to discover on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eryT9t8V

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells have attracted much attention as a future mainstream photovoltaics technology. However, a realistic efficiency target has been missing in literature, as most calculations so far have been based on too simplistic assumptions (ignoring e.g. Auger recombination and actual absorption coefficient data,...). In this perspective article led by Thomas Allen, we define a realistic efficiency target of 37.8% for monolithic tandems and outline critical steps to be undertaken towards achieving that goal.

We have recently published a study titled "The Impact of Charge Carrier Dynamics on the Outdoor Performance of Cesium-Lead-Halide Perovskite Photovoltaics." You can find the link below. https://lnkd.in/gw2QSh5p

Counting 1, 2, 3... and now even 4! 🎉 Thrilled to share our breakthrough on multijunction (up to 4J) perovskite photovoltaics, just published by Nature https://lnkd.in/eDsmvANA! What an amazing year-end gift! Congratulations to all involved. We’d love for you to check it out! Huge thanks to the incredible team, Henry Snaith, Atsushi Wakamiya, and all our super supportive collaborators for their solid contributions, which enabled us, with Junke Wang, to establish this exciting milestone! In this study, we successfully fabricated large-area, record-high-efficiency double-, triple-, and — for the first time — quadruple-junction perovskite solar cells. We provided a comprehensive understanding of the intricate solution chemistry and great control of optoelectronic properties of narrow-bandgap (~1.25 eV) mixed tin-lead perovskites. In addition, we developed six highly efficient middle (~1.6 eV), wide (~1.8 eV), and very-wide (~2.0 eV) bandgap neat-lead perovskite solar cells. Superior low-loss tandem interconnecting layers were also developed. Time to go junctions beyond two, for perovskite-containing photovoltaics!

☝️ Attention PV experts: On May 28, I will share some of our work on polymer quality assurance research in the webinar organised by Bergen. I'm looking forward to discussing the importance of polymers and their composition and processing for #PVreliability and interact with some outstanding scientists in the field. Register now!

On April 8th, 2024, a total solar eclipse was experienced in different regions in the United States. Through data connected to Nantum AI, we identified multiple insights on how the eclipse alters the normal pattern of the energy systems, buildings, and building occupants. Thank you to the partnership of National Renewable Energy Laboratory and The University of Texas at Dallas with our own R&D team leaders (Ali Mehmani, PhD, Gulai Shen, and Amir Behjat) in the creation of this study!
