Scientists in Korea have developed a new methodology to employ machine-learning models in "smart" solar cell manufacturing. They utilized data collected from equipment that closely resembles actual ...

Researchers over at the National Renewable Energy Lab have reportedly made the first solar cell with an external quantum efficiency over 100 percent. Quantum efficiency relates to the number of ...

The maximum possible voltage, called the open circuit voltage, was 1.09 V. For comparison, commercially available silicon solar cells have a typical cell efficiency of 25%, a fill factor of about 83%, ...

Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan claim to have developed a tin (II) sulfide (SnS) solar cell with a high open-circuit voltage, due to an SnS interface exhibiting large band bending. The ...

These temperature drops caused a relative increase in open-circuit voltage for the solar cells of between 8–27%. This is “roughly proportional to efficiency,” Bermel says. Using temperature data from ...

The circuit described here is a 12-V dc to 5-V dc (±5%) switched-mode power supply (SMPS). The supply uses a 12-V input from an array of four 3-V dc, 40-mA solar cells connected in series.
