Dimmable fenestration and incorporated photovoltaic design: Smart Window design with PDLC and AL-BSF cells

The built environment contributes with 39% of the CO2 emissions in the world [3]. At the same time it is a sector that is expected to grow from US$10.9 trillion (2017) to US$12.9 trillion (2022) [4]. A sector with such an economic growth but with a negative environmental impact needs to innovate in order to reduce its carbon footprint. These are...

Contact Stack Evaluation for SHJ Solar Cells and Process Development of IBC-SHJ Solar Cells

Nowadays, silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell is one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies thanks to the outstanding passivation quality from the a-Si:H layers. Together with the interdigitated-back-contacted (IBC) architecture, it enables the highest efficient, 26.7%, single junction c-Si solar cell. However, the mass production...
