Solar energy everywhere. Producing tailor-made products on a large scale and affordably, this is the future of solar energy. New ways to integrate solar panels so that they are invisible or, on the contrary, become an aesthetic part of a suitable surface. ...
Understanding material degradation and failure mechanismes of a solar cell is the holy grail for lifetime improvement and application of solar cells in environmentally harsh conditions. Mirjam Theelen (TNO) is researching deceased CIGS solar modules. She deve...
Depending on the use and application, flexible solar cells need a fair life time. It is important to develop materials and processes that can protect the sensitive chemical and physical composition of thin-film solar cells, during the required lifetime. Althou...
In this webinar we discuss advanced interconnection technologies as developed at Solliance partners TNO and Forschungszentrum Jülich. Interconnection technology is needed to create a working solar module from a stack of thin-film photovoltaic layers. Together ...
In this sixth Solliance webinar, we focus on atomic layer deposition. This deposition technique is developing fast and can create ultra-thin layers with high accuracy, which maybe crucial for reliability of flexible, thin film solar. We will discuss the develo...
A lot of energy has been invested in the research to arrive at stable perovskite based solar cells. New chemical composition, new layers and new barrier technologies combined made these solar cells more resilient to oxygen and moisture. The milestone of one th...
What is possible if you take this tandem concept even further? Can you fine tune the absorption wave length? What happens if you stack three, four or even more perovskite based solar cells on top of each other?...
One of the unique features of perovskite based solar cells is their translucency. Only a part of the spectrum is absorbed, leaving the module is transparent for other colours. This means another solar modules can convert the' left-over' to electrical energy. T...
To come to a sustainable energy production, we need large amounts of solar cells. For perovskite solution based printing techniques are available, so the future perovskite solar modules are printed on flexible carriers. Roll-to-roll processes are researched by...
With thin-film solar the active layer is magnitude thinner compared to conventional solar. This has several advantages, it saves costly materials and it can be made flexible.
