Solar Cells and Modules
We explore new processes and solar cell technologies from basic research to industrial applications, device and module characterization & simulation, and materials research. Rabin Basnet Research Fellow rabin.basnet@anu Engineering Building (32
Moreover, silicon-based solar cells have a disadvantage that they have a relatively weak absorbance for long wavelengths from sunlight, and the thick (100–500 μm) silicon substrate cannot be bended and is opaque. Silicon-based solar cells have a limited potential for application in flexible PVs because of their drawbacks [55]. Thus, now we ...
In this work, we first devise a flexible triple-junction III-V solar cell embedded inside a smart dust module suitable for outdoor applications. These flexible solar cells are demonstrated to have a bending radius of over 5 cm and exhibit a conversion efficiency of around 25% under air mass 1.5G (1 sun) conditions.
Solar cell efficiency tables (Version 63) - Green - 2024
Since GaAs PV cells are multijunction III-V solar cells composed of graded buffers, they can achieve high efficiencies of up to 39.2%, but the manufacturing time, cost for the materials, and high growth materials, make it a less viable choice for terrestrial applications. The rated efficiency for GaAs thin-film solar cells is recorded at …
