In the first week of 2024, a number of Chinese PV companies published their first quotes of the year for PV products. On 3 and 4 January, the Silicon Industry Branch (SIB) of China Nonferrous Metals ...

Scientists from Australia and the United Kingdom have developed a novel method for constructing localized rear contacts on p-type silicon absorbers. The proposed process utilizes aluminum (Al) doped ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) has emerged as a material of choice for high-temperature and high-power applications owing to its wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity and robust electrical properties. In ...

Heterojunction solar cells could provide the next big efficiency leap in solar output, but their need for low processing temperatures means they require very high quality, expensive n-type silicon ...

The price of n-type silicon rod has fallen to 58-60 RMB/kg (US$8.01-8.29/kg). Image: PV Tech If the previous two years were characterised by the phrase, ‘he who has silicon rules the world,’ then the ...

A group of Korean researchers have recently succeeded in developing new p-type semiconductor materials and thin-film transistors that will lead the innovation of the semiconductor industry. These new ...

The company’s new scientific paper, published in Nature, reveals that its hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) solar cell achieved a record-breaking efficiency of 27.81%, marking a major step ...
