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 developed a method to isolate functioning cells from a full...
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. Although glass is an excellent inert...
In a collaboration between USA based MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp and European Solliance Solar Research a power conversion efficiency of 26.5% on a tandem solar cell was established. The architecture combines two thin-film solar cell technologies: a top rigid semi-transparent perovskite solar cell with a bottom flexible...
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 with researchers Veronique Gevaerts and Stefan Haas we take a...
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 development new functional layers for photovoltaic...
To be able to predict when solar panels will fail, insight into the failure mechanism is essential. This knowledge is used to improve the quality and longevity. Scientists at TNO Energy Transition and Solliance Solar Research have developed a technique to find out why solar...
Thin-film photovoltaic CIGS technology has seen considerable growth of manufacturing capacity in recent years. The environmental impact, especially the CO2 footprint of CIGS thin-film panels shows great advantages compared to other solar technologies. CIGS panels show good performance in diffuse light conditions and at high...
After publishing the announcment of 23% efficiency of flexible tandem cells, Director of Solliance Ronn Andriessen was interviewed by BNR Wetenschap Vandaag. This reulsted in a clear item on the relevance of thin-film solar technology in the contect of the energy transition and Building integrated...
