pv magazine events 2020
The important role of energy storage in the transition of the electricity system from thermal generation to renewable sources is undisputed. And the speed at which applications and enabling technologies are rising to meet the challenge is astounding.
pv magazine Events 2020
The unfolding Covid-19 crisis has impacted solar events around the world (see pp. 19). Many events have been canceled or postponed, reducing opportunities for knowledge exchange, community building, and networking. It has also deprived companies of the chance to generate new leads and introduce new products and collaborations to a live audience. But don’t fret – pv magazine has a growing suite of solutions.
R&D update
New path for perovskites Even as solar researchers demonstrate ever more efficient and reliable perovskite devices, the debate continues about the molecular properties of perovskites and the chemical explanation of why the structure lends itself so well to new solar cell applications. Scientists at Ames Laboratory in the United States studied methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) […]
Tandem modules: a unique opportunity for EU PV
In the coming years, tandem modules combining silicon PV and perovskite solar cells will become available. Using these modules in novel integrated solar solutions will demand close links between local market players and customers. This presents Europe with a unique opportunity to regain an important role in solar manufacturing, says Philip Pieters, business development director at imec.
