Emerging-PV initiative Leads experts in a protocol proposal for Characterizing Mechanical Performance of Flexible Photovoltaics

Flexible photovoltaic devices (FlexPVs), unlike the more common rigid photovoltaic devices, have great potential in portable electronics and Internet-of-Things applications, textiles, curved surfaces such as car roofs, and low weight applications such as drones and aerospace transportation. Over the past few years FlexPVs have made remarkable efficiency gains, with recent reports showing power conversion efficiencies >>

Emerging-PV.org meets PV-magazine.de

PV-magazine.de recently published an article by Dr. Karen Forberich on the challenge of achieving standardized comparability and accelerating technological development in emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies. Emerging PVs, which includes organic photovoltaics (OPV) and perovskite photovoltaics (PPV), is distinguished by its use of alternative light-absorbing materials and its potential for innovative applications due to properties like >>
