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)
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 … >>
ePVW2: Multijunction, Interface Science, and Cockroaches
The second emerging Photovoltaics Workshop (ePVW2) at the 8th international conference Next Generation Solar Energy (NGSE8) was held in Erlangen, Germany, this December 2023 with the participation of several world-class experts in the field. In the introductory talk, Osbel Almora introduced the just published Emerging-PV report 2023. This is the 4th version of the yearly … >>
