How many new solar cell efficiency tables are there?

The international research group led by Professor Martin Green from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia has published Version 65 of the “ solar cell efficiency tables ” in Progress in Photovoltaics. The scientists said they have added 17 new results to the new tables since June.

What are the top 5 solar module manufacturers in 2023?

The total module shipments of the top 5 manufacturers nearly reached 300GW in 2023. The major players maintained their leading positions throughout the list. The top four were LONGi, Jinko, Trina and JA Solar, the same order as last year.

How much area should a solar cell be contacted?

There are also certain minimum values of the area sought for the different device types (above 0.05 cm 2 for a concentrator cell, 1 cm 2 for a one-sun cell, 200 cm 2 for a “submodule” and 800 cm 2 for a module). In recent years, approaches for contacting large-area solar cells during measurement have become increasingly complex.

Are organic photovoltaic cells better than silicon solar cells?

Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) need donors and acceptors with high extinction coefficients, good stability, and a robust film structure than silicon solar cells. However, the operational lifetime is less than the expected lifetimes.

What's new in a one-sun solar module?

There are five new results reported in Table 4 (one-sun modules) involving a range of technologies. The first is a new efficiency level of 24.9% reported for a 1.8-m 2 silicon module 60 fabricated by Maxeon Solar Technologies and measured by NREL. Maxeon is one of the leading proponents of the interdigitated-back-contact (IBC) cell.

Who will dominate the global PV module market in 2023?
