6 FAQs about [The Future of Campus Solar Cells]

Could a multi-cell module become a real competition for silicon solar cells?

The multi-cell module developed at Energie Campus Nürnberg (EnCN) has a surface area of 26 cm². ‘If we can achieve over 20% in the laboratory, we could possibly achieve 15% in practice and become real competition for silicon solar cells,’ says Prof. Brabec.

How do solar cells work?

Using a pioneering technique developed in Oxford, which stacks multiple light-absorbing layers into one solar cell, they have harnessed a wider range of the light spectrum, allowing more power to be generated from the same amount of sunlight.

How long does a solar PV module last in Switzerland?

According to the latest calculations of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), the energy payback time of PV modules made of silicon in Switzerland is around 2.5 to 2.8 years. However, this time is reduced to only a few months for organic solar cells according to Dr. Thomas Heumüller, research associate at Prof. Brabec’s Chair.

How much energy does a solar cell produce?

His work has now been published in the journal ‘Nature Energy’. The sun can supply radiation energy of around 1000 watts per square metre on a clear day at European latitudes. Conventional monocrystalline silicon solar cells convert up to a fifth of this energy into electricity, which means they have an efficiency of around 20 percent.

Is the solar energy world ready for a revolution?

(Credit: Glenn Asakawa/University of Colorado) The solar energy world is ready for a revolution. Scientists are racing to develop a new type of solar cell using materials that can convert electricity more efficiently than today’s panels.

Can perovskites be the next generation of solar cells?

“We are taking perovskites to the finish line. If tandems work out well, they certainly have the potential to dominate the market and become the next generation of solar cells,” he said. A CU Boulder engineer and his international colleagues have discovered a new way to manufacture solar cells using perovskite semiconductors.
