At present, electrification and digitalization are two significant trends in the energy sector.
Large-scale introduction of variable renewable energy sources, energy storage and power …

In the renewable energy sector, solar energy has emerged as a very abundant resource,
which has its implementation from very large-scale industries to household uses. The market …

The design of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) often involves complex geometries,
non-uniform irradiance conditions and partial shading. This can lead to high energy losses if …

Most photovoltaic absorbers are identified using the standard Shockley-Queisser selection
principle which relies on optimal band-gap values. However, this criterion has been shown …

Shading systems improve building energy performance and occupant comfort by controlling
glare, natural lighting, and solar gain. Integrating PV (photovoltaics) in shading systems …

The reliability of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels is significantly affected by the formation of
hotspots in active operation. In this paper, hotspots are analyzed in conventional crystalline …

Vertical space bears great potential of solar energy especially for congested urban areas,
where photovoltaic (PV) windows in high-rise buildings can contribute to both power …

We analyze the problem of partial shading in monolithically integrated thin-film photovoltaic
(TFPV) modules, and explore how the shape and size of the shadows dictate their …

In this paper, we present a physics-based analytical model for copper indium gallium
diselenide (CIGS) solar cells that describes the illumination-and temperature-dependent …

Cu-based chalcogenide p-type semiconductors in the form of nanocrystals can be used to
deposit low-temperature and stable hole-transport layers (HTL) for nip perovskite solar cells …
