Martinez Lopez, V.A. (author), van Urk, G.A. (author), Doodkorte, P.J.F. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Ziar, H. (author)Clouds moving in front or away from the sun are the leading cause of irradiance variability. These variations have a repercussion on the electricity production of photovoltaic systems. Predicting such changes is essential for proper control of these systems and for maintaining grid stability. Images from the sky have proven to help with short...journal article 2024

(author)Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have achieved a record efficiency of 26.81% in a front/back-contacted (FBC) configuration. Moreover, thanks to their advantageous high V<sub>OC</sub> and good infrared response, SHJ solar cells can be further combined with wide bandgap perovskite cells forming tandem devices to enable efficiencies well...journal article 2023

Strategy to mitigate the dipole interfacial states in (i)a-Si:H/MoOxpassivating contacts solar cellsMazzarella, L. (author), Alcañiz Moya, A. (author), Kawa, Eliora (author), Procel Moya, P.A. (author), Zhao, Y. (author), Han, C. (author), Yang, G. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author)Electrical simulations show that the dipole formed at (i)a-Si:H/MoOx interface can explain electrical performance degradation. We experimentally manipulate this interface by a plasma treatment (PT) to mitigate the dipole strength without harming the optical response. The optimal PT + MoOx stack results in strongly improved electrical...conference paper 2020

Ingenito, A. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Zeman, M. (author)The need for cost reduction requires using less raw material and cost-effective processes without sacrificing the conversion efficiency. For keeping high the generated photo-current, an advanced light trapping scheme for ultra-thin silicon wafers is here proposed, exhibiting absorptances up to 99% of 4n2 classical absorption limit for wafer...conference paper 2014

Ingenito, A. (author), Ortiz Lizcano, J.C. (author), Luxembourg, S.L. (author), Santbergen, R. (author), Weeber, A. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Zeman, M. (author)At present, research in c-Si solar cells is focused on increasing the efficiency while reducing the amount of used materials. Since silicon wafer and metal contribute up to 50% to the cost of a module, it is crucial to reduce the amount of these materials to fabricate cost-effective modules. In particular, for reducing the consumption of metal,...journal article 2014
