We fabricate a type of back-contact perovskite solar cell based on 1.5 μm-width grooves that are embossed into plastic film whose opposing "walls" selectively coated with either n- or p-type contacts. A precursor solution is then deposited the grooves, creating individual photovoltaic devices. Each groove device series-connected to its neighbors, minimodules consisting hundreds connected grooves. Here, we report fabrication groove-based devices using slot-die coating deposit and explore...
A model of levelized cost energy (LCOE) is presented which accounts for the significant ‘burn-in’ losses common in photovoltaic (PV) devices with organic (OPV) and perovskite (PVK) absorber layers. This used to quantify relative importance burn-in, module initial efficiency a realistic grid-scale PV installation situated Fiji. The effectiveness improvements technology reducing LCOE shown depend critically upon current status technology. Predictions specific state-of-the-art OPV PVK sourced...
Emerging photovoltaic (PV) devices with perovskite or organic absorber layers may play a substantial role in our energy future due to their potential low‐cost manufacture and differing properties compared established silicon equivalents. However, it is not clear what extent physical human geography influences the cost competitiveness of emerging PV, consequently, how PV should be optimized for locations. Herein, levelized (LCOE) model used examine influence insolation economic factors by...
