Emerging-PV – an online database for researchers in emerging photovoltaic technologies
Our initiative also summarizes the data in yearly surveys: “The Emerging-PV Reports”, published every December in the journal Advanced Energy Materials. See Version 1 (2020), Version 2 (2021), Version 3 (2022), and Version 4 (2023), and Version 5 (2024).
New Feature on Emerging-PV.org: Authenticated PDF Cell Data Reports Now Available
We are pleased to announce the successful implementation of PDF-authenticated Solar Cell data reports on emerging-PV.org. Each report provides a summary of submitted device data, including internal consistency checks, relevant definitions, and referenced literature to ensure transparency and scientific rigor. Each PDF is uniquely certified and can be validated through our official portal: https://emerging-pv.org/validation/ This … >>
New Metric for Flexible Solar Cells: The Flexible Photovoltaic Fatigue Factor (F)
A new study Sun et al. introduces the Flexible Photovoltaic Fatigue Factor (F) — a novel figure of merit designed to quantify the mechanical durability of flexible solar cells under repeated bending. The metric condenses the operational power conversion efficiency decay ΔPCE of device performance over bending cycles at a given strain, providing a simple … >>
2024’s Device Performance of Emerging Photovoltaic Materials (Version 5) has been published
We’re excited to share the latest edition of the Emerging PV Report, now published in Advanced Energy Materials. This annual review compiles and analyzes performance data from over a hundred new studies on emerging photovoltaic (e-PV) technologies, providing the most comprehensive overview of the field to date. However, the report also underscores the need for … >>
