Perovskite Solar Retains High Efficiency after 1,000 Hours Upon Fixing Deadly Defect

published 2023 年 06 月 13 日 9:30
Perovskite solar cells, despite having a high conversion efficiency, are hindered on the path of commercialization due to their low durability, which prevents actual applications from happening. However, a new thin film developed by scientists can retain 99% of the initial efficiency for perovskite solar cells after 1,000 hours of operation. ...  more

New Solar Marches Into Space as Perovskite and Organic Cells Complete Space Testing

published 2020 年 09 月 01 日 9:30
Perovskite and organic solar are promising new solar technology as they offer excellent performance in a thinner and lighter fashion in contrast to existing solar cells, with relatively extensive application range at the same time, and now their application fields have been expanded to space, where scientists have completed testing for perovskite and organic solar. ...  more

India’s Domestic Protectionist Policy Means Its Solar Industry May Not Qualify for Subsidies Using Imported Solar Cells

published 2019 年 11 月 25 日 11:34
Still remember the import duty imposed on foreign-made solar cells by the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry back in 2018? To protect the domestic photovoltaic industry, the Ministry levied a 25% first-year tariff on imported cells. Recently, India is rolling out a brand new set of policies that will proactively reduce the country’s reliance on imported cells. The idea here is to bolster the Indian solar cell manufacturing industry. ...  more
