Bifacial photovoltaics – The Future has two sides Updated On Wed, Oct 3rd, 2018 by Saurenergy Solar modules are aligned to or even track the sun. The rear of standard solar modules only receives a small fraction of the energy captured by the front of the module. Nevertheless, the back surface can contribute 5% to 30% of the overall energy balance. The word “bifacial” keeps cropping up nowadays in the photovoltaics […] Read more
Heraeus Advanced Metallization Pastes For High Efficiency Solar Cells using Poly-Silicon Passivated Contacts Updated On Wed, Sep 26th, 2018 by Saurenergy The highest efficiency solar cell to date with metal contacts on both sides (not IBC) is the TOPCon cell structure developed by Fraunhofer ISE. They currently hold the world record efficiency of 25.8% with an impressive Voc of 724mV [1]. The key differentiator of this cell is the addition of a thin tunnel oxide with […] Read more
