We’re happy to share that Advanced Energy Materials has just released a dedicated Emerging PV Reports Initiative collection, bringing together all editions of the Device Performance of Emerging Photovoltaic Materials surveys and related content in one place. This special page makes it easier to: For the Emerging PV consortium, this collection is an important milestone: … >>

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 … >>

The 9th International Conference on Next Generation Solar Energy (NGSE9-2024) will be held this year at the EnCN building in Fürtherstraße 250, Nuremberg, Germany, from December 10–12, 2024. Organized by Karen Forberich, Osbel Almora, Luigi Angelo Castriota and Christoph Brabec, this event will bring together leading experts and researchers in solar energy. The final day of … >>

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 … >>

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 … >>
