LANL Unveils Solar Cells Based on Non-Toxic and Low-Cost Quantum Dots |
| published 2020 年 05 月 29 日 21:30 |
The conversion of solar energy into electricity does not solely rely on PV cells made from crystalline silicon. There are many alternative technologies including thin-film cells, perovskite cells, and organic cells. Recently, scientists in the US have also made breakthroughs in the development of PV cells based on quantum dots. ... more
New Type of Flexible Perovskite Solar Cell Appears to Break Record in Efficiency Under Indoor Lighting |
| published 2020 年 05 月 27 日 18:30 |
Installing PV systems inside a building seems to defy common sense, but it is justifiable on practical grounds. Since PV cells absorb a certain range of wavelengths from solar radiation to generate electricity, they can also do the same with light produced by indoor lighting fixtures. ... more
Global Trend: PV Cell Prices to Increase Once Again as Overall Demand in May Returns Gradually |

Polysilicon
The continuous declination for the prices of the polysilicon market during April has finally slowed down at the end of the month, which is primarily due to the relatively weak demand for domestic and overseas end markets, as well as the fact that some enterprises did not implement overhaul as planned. Under an overall sufficient supply of polysilicon, the prices will continue to decline. ... more

| published 2020 年 03 月 19 日 17:15 |
The markets in China and the rest of the world showed mixed developments this week. The Chinese market was gradually leaving the shadow of the outbreak behind. The market prices were once again determined mostly by supply and dem... more
Price Trend: Upstream Mono-Si Products Are Heating up While Overseas Module Prices Fluctuate |
| published 2020 年 02 月 27 日 17:41 |
The overall supply and demand in the market were gradually returning to normal this week. Some parts of the supply chain were still under the impact of the shortage in raw materials or the increase in transportation costs. The overall production and operation were basically stable. It is expected that these increased costs would be reflected in subsequent transactions. ... more
Price Trend: Mono- and Multi-Si Products Showed Mixed Developments While Polysilicon Price Continued to Drop |
| published 2019 年 12 月 12 日 16:17 |
The overall market continued to show mixed developments for mono- and multi-Si products this week. The polysilicon manufacturers were pressured by the multi-Si wafer manufacturers to lower the price. The price of the multi-Si wafers continued its downward trajectory. ... more
Price Trend: Polysilicon Price Drops Worldwide While the Future Demand Remains Unclear |
| published 2019 年 11 月 28 日 16:59 |
This week, the overall market sentiment was the same as last week. The inventory level of the upstream polysilicon has gradually increased, which put the manufacturers under pressure to reduce prices. There was no change in wafers’ routine end-of-month average contract price. ... more
Nano Material MXene Can Boost the Efficiency of Peroskite PV Cell by 25% |
| published 2019 年 10 月 18 日 0:30 |
A team of Russian and Italian researchers have successfully developed a new type of Perovskite PV cell which utilizes a special nano material known as MXene to increase its performance. According to the researchers, the use of MXene can boost the efficiency of the PV cells for electric charge conversion by as much as 20%. ... more
