Novel solar cell architecture performs well under real-world constraints

Washington DC (SPX) Jun 02, 2022
Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy. Solar cells usually consist of a semiconductor material that absorbs sunlight and generates electricity. However, the amount of sunlight that can be converted into electricity is limited. Standard single-junction solar cells are theoretically limited to a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 30 percent. This is the famous “Shockley- This article was originally published by Solardaily.com. Read the original article here.
