A joint Dutch and Chinese research team has developed a double-sided heterojunction photovoltaic cell. Using a thin transparent conductive oxide (TCO), the cell uses 67 percent less indium and achieves a conversion efficiency of more than 22 percent. Image credit: TU Delft The TCO used in the battery is based on indium oxide (III) oxide …

Electric capacitors are an important part of the power system, they are most commonly used in a variety of electrical devices such as computers, heating units, and motors. But what exactly is an electric capacitor? Why do they even exist? What makes them different from other types of capacitors? In this article you will find …
A team at the Us National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has broken the world record for solar cell efficiency. The new device reached nearly 40 percent, with the highest efficiency record of any type of solar cell under real-world conditions. NREL has developed a new solar cell with an efficiency of nearly 40%, breaking a …

Solar panel is by absorbing sunlight, the solar radiation energy through photoelectric effect or photochemical effect directly or indirectly converted into electrical energy device, most of the main material of solar panel for "silicon", but because of the production cost is very large, so that it can not be widely and widely used. Solar cells …
Solar panels are mainly made of reusable materials. Components such as glass and certain metals (which make up 85 per cent of panels) are reprocessed, as are polymers and electronic components. However, solar panel recycling is much more difficult than simple disassembly -- material recycling is often more expensive to produce than new panels. …
Photovoltaic inverter An inverter that can convert the variable DC voltage generated by photovoltaic solar panels into mains frequency AC power, which can be fed back to the commercial transmission system or used by the off-grid grid. Pv inverter is one of the important system balance (BOS) in pv array system, which can be used …
Solar panels are divided into single crystal solar panels, polycrystalline solar panels and amorphous silicon solar panels, and most solar panels are mainly made of single crystal and polycrystalline materials. So is it better to have a single crystal solar panel or a multi-crystal solar panel? Polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon are two different materials, polycrystalline …

Monocrystalline silicon solar cells mainly use monocrystalline silicon to manufacture, compared with other kinds of solar cells, monocrystalline silicon cells have the highest conversion efficiency. In the early stage, monocrystalline silicon solar cells occupied the majority of the market share, and only after 1998, the market share of polysilicon occupied the second place. Due to …
