Researchers Make Case for Gallium-doped p-type Heterojunction Solar Cells Updated On Mon, Jul 26th, 2021 by Saurenergy Researchers of an Austrian-Russian research group have come out with a technique to make Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells based on P-type wafers more efficient and stable with Gallium-doping. These p-type, Gallium-doped wafers have proved to be 22.6% efficient, more stable, and cheaper than the usual n-type Phosphorus-doped Czochralski–grown silicon (Cz–Si) wafers. The scientists of the […] Read more
UNSW engineers set a new world record in solar cell efficiency Updated On Thu, May 19th, 2016 by Saurenergy Engineers at the University of New South Wales have developed a new solar cell configuration that is 34.5 percent efficient at converting unfocused sunlight into electricity. The new solar cell is 44 percent better than the previous record – made by Alta Devices of the USA, which reached 24% efficiency with a larger solar array. […] Read more
