Photovoltaic modules are manufactured so that they can continue to generate electricity decades after their manufacture, which is why until now efforts have been focused on using materials and processes that make the product as robust as possible, without thinking on facilitating their recycling...
Manufacturing a silicon solar cell involves a complex sequence to transform quartz extracted from a mine into a device that, when exposed to the sun, provides electricity in a cheap, reliable and long-lasting way. This is a challenge that requires the cooperation of the...
A perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a type of 3rd generation solar cell that includes a perovskite-structured compound as the light-absorbing layer, which can be either a hybrid organic-inorganic or fully inorganic halide-based material. Perovskite-type absorbers exhibit excellent opto-electronic properties and are very high...
