EPFL’s Institute of Microengineering presented at PVSEC, Frankfurt, “hybrid” photovoltaic cells with an energy conversion efficiency of 21.4%, the highest obtained for the type of substrate they used. This breakthrough will contribute to lower the cost of solar cell based installations. In the medium term, an investment of only 2000…
Imec and chemicals company Solvay have announced an organic photovoltaic module with a certified efficiency of 5.5% from an aperture area of 16cm2.
For many people solar energy means PV solar electricity. But, although that is expanding, it’s still only around 50GW of grid linked capacity globally and, by contrast, the perhaps less glamorous but at present far cheaper technology of solar thermal heat collection is well ahead. In fact, globally, there is…
University of Oxford researchers have developed a new photovoltaic (PV) technology that they claim could provide the lowest cost-performance photovoltaic solution on the market.Prototypes of the Meso Superstructured Solar Cells (MSSC) have achieved an efficiency of 10.9%, while using a simple manufacturing process with inexpensive and abundant raw materials.The technology,…
LONDON (Reuters) – Together, the companies are expecting to start “raising between $3 and $5 billion in the next few months, with China Development Bank to put an as-yet-undefined amount into the fund, a person familiar with the situation said.”This new move is giving Terra Firma the opportunity to repair…
