Are thin-film photovoltaics a viable option for solar energy harvesting?

Photovoltaics (PVs) are promising platforms for the harvesting of this inexhaustible solar energy, and new device concepts with improved efficiency are constantly emerging in this field. The currently widespread inorganic thin-film PVs are dull and black in color and are not visually appealing. Therefore, they are normally installed on rooftops.

Are colored PV modules with luminescent down-shift layers eco-friendly?

In summary, we demonstrate various colored PV modules with luminescent down-shift layers employing eco-friendly InP/ZnSe x S 1-x QD luminophores. The thick ZnSe x S 1-x shell is grown not only to confine photo-excited charge carriers into the emissive InP core and but also to boost absorption of high energy photons.

Do CIGS solar modules have a high photovoltaic efficiency?

To date, photovoltaic efficiency values greater than 18% have been demonstrated for CIGS solar (mini)modules fabricated on non-glass flexible substrates, regardless of the grid electrode 6 or monolithically interconnected structure 7. Fig. 1: Schematic of CIGS solar module structure. a Grid electrode module. b monolithically interconnected module.

Are photovoltaic cells a renewable technology?

1. Introduction Photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, which utilize the abundant sunlight arriving at the Earth's surface to generate electricity, have been considered as one of the most attractive renewable technologies due to their easiness of installation and cost competitive advantage.

Can photonic glass be used to colorize solar PVs?

This places an urgent demand on PV colorization technology that has a low impact on power conversion efficiency (PCE) and is simultaneously mass-producible at a low cost. To address this challenge, this study contributes a colorization strategy for solar PVs based on short-range correlated dielectric microspheres, i. e ., photonic glass.

What is thin-film photovoltaic technology?

Thin-film photovoltaic technologies, including Cu (In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS), CdTe, and other chalcogenide and organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells, are promising for realizing this type of application, namely, highly efficient, cost-effective, and lightweight flexible photovoltaic devices 1.
