Density Functional Theory Calculations of Photovoltaic Materials

Photovoltaic (PV) materials are gaining rapid popularity for their use in commercial solar cell applications. Due to the growing need for high efficiency solar cells, new materials such as perovskites are being researched. While the conventional experimental methods are still used to test new PV materials, PV modelling is gaining importance as...

Development of Cell to System Annual Energy Yield Toolbox for Bifacial Modules

Accurate Annual Energy Yield (AEY) predictions can mean important savings due to optimization of energy generation for both particular and utility scale PV systems. <br/>However, currently available commercial models fall short to faithfully reproduce complex designs, specially involving bifacial modules, where albedo gains are relevant. <br/...
