Vogt, M.R. (author), Pilis, Giorgos (author), Zeman, M. (author), Santbergen, R. (author), Isabella, O. (author)The photovoltaic (PV) module energy rating standard series IEC 61853 does not cover bifacial PV modules. However, the market share of bifacial PV modules has dramatically increased in recent years and is projected to grow. This work demonstrates how Parts 3 and 4 of the IEC 61853 standard could be extended to bifacial modules. First, we...journal article 2023

Blom, Y. (author), Vogt, M.R. (author), Ruiz Tobon, C.M. (author), Santbergen, R. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author)The tandem PV technology can potentially increase the efficiency of PV modules over 30%. To design efficient modules, a quantification of the different losses is important. Herein, a model for quantifying the energy loss mechanisms in PV systems under real-world operating conditions with a level of detail back to the components and their...journal article 2023

Kanda, Hiroyuki (author), Dan Mihailetchi, Valentin (author), Gueunier‐Farret, Marie‐Estelle (author), Kleider, Jean‐Paul (author), Djebbour, Zakaria (author), Alvarez, Jose (author), Isabella, O. (author), Vogt, M.R. (author), Santbergen, R. (author)The current climate and energy crisis urgently needs solar cells with efficiencies above the 29% single junction efficiency bottleneck. Silicon/perovskite tandem solar cells are a solution, which is attracting much attention. While silicon/perovskite tandem cells in 2-terminal and 4-terminal configurations are well documented, the three-terminal...journal article 2022

Santbergen, R. (author), Vogt, M.R. (author), Mishima, Ryota (author), Hino, Masashi (author), Uzu, Hisashi (author), Adachi, Daisuke (author), Yamamoto, Kenji (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author)We investigate gentle front side textures for perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. These textures enhance the absorption of sunlight, yet are sufficiently gentle to allow deposition of an efficient perovskite top cell. We present a tandem solar cell with such gentle texture, fabricated by Kaneka corporation, with an efficiency as high as 28...journal article 2022

Garcia (author), Etxebarria, J. G. (author), Ziar, H. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Santbergen, R. (author), Isabella, O. (author)We introduce a novel simulation tool capable of calculating the energy yield of a PV system based on its fundamental material properties and using self-consistent models. Thus, our simulation model can operate without measurements of a PV device. It combines wave and ray optics and a dedicated semiconductor simulation to model the...journal article 2022

(author), Isabella, O. (author)The perovskite solar cell (PSC) is one of the most dramatic inventions in the field of photovoltaics in the last half century. The device has rapidly risen from a few percent to efficiencies of over 24% [1] in little over a decade. This rapid development is due in part to the wide family of perovskite absorber and of electron and hole tranport...poster 2021

(author), Santbergen, R. (author), Isabella, O. (author)The most successful high efficiency design, and one of the oldest, is the multi-junction solar cell. There are a range of multijunction solar cell terminal configurations, the specificities of which are reviewed, concluding with noting the increased attention being given to three terminal designs. This introduces a new device design which is the...conference paper 2020
