A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

They have discovered that a rear-side albedo of 0.5 combined with a 20-degree tilt angle delivers maximum efficiency. Bifacial perovskite solar cells (Bi-PSCs) have gained significant attention in ...

The solar cells have traveled between Freiburg and Amsterdam ... light scattering beyond the total internal reflection critical angle in the cell. “Specifically, we optimize the geometry of ...

While most of this has focused on the material used to make the solar cell, researchers at JMU looked at the problem from a ...
