The project is developing a nano-structured high efficiency solar cell. Unique production process ensures that costs will be competitive compared to cells with similar efficiency.
It has been investigated how best to design heating units for one family houses consisting of solar collectors, electric heating element(s)/a heat pump, a smart heat storage and control system based
During training of two research students, the project developed new thermocleavable polymer materials for PV cells with a narrow optical band gap, allowing simple production of multilayer structures
A three-dimensional chemical mapping of active plastic PV cell layers has generated new knowledge of degradation causes for PV cells. Based on the mapping, more stable PV cells were made, which in
The project will continue developing a computer model capable of predicting defect concentrations and distributions as a function of parameters during the float-zone process that produces silicon for
Organic solar cells hold promise as a sustainable energy source and for energy cost reduction. They represent a cost-efficient alternative to silicon-based cells. However, current technologies still
