High light transmittance solar power generation

What is semi-transparent photovoltaics?

Nature Energy 5, 468–477 (2020) Cite this article Semi-transparent photovoltaics only allow for the fabrication of solar cells with an optical transmission that is fixed during their manufacturing resulting in a trade-off between transparency and efficiency.

What is the performance potential of semitransparent solar cells?

From the calculation shown in Fig. 20 A, the PCE of the optimized semitransparent solar cell is 12.36%, AVT is 50.45%, and LUE reaches 6.23%, which is a 24.6% improvement compared to the experimental results. This result shows the performance potential of semitransparent solar cells. Fig. 20.

What makes a good semitransparent solar cell?

An ideal semitransparent solar cell should have high utilization of ultraviolet and/or near infrared photons and maintain a good photon transmittance in the visible range to achieve a balance between solar spectral absorption and transmission.

Are semitransparent organic solar cells self-powered greenhouses?

Unlike the traditional opaque photovoltaics, semitransparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs) exhibit merits of being transparent, lightweight, and having good solution processability, as self-powered greenhouses.

Are semitransparent perovskite and organic solar cells suitable for building integrated photovoltaics (bipvs)?

This review work provided an overview of recent progress in semitransparent perovskite and organic solar cells targeting for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs). The commonly used solar cells for applications in residential and commercial buildings are mainly Si-based PVs.

Do semitransparent organic solar cells have a conflict of interest?

The authors declare no conflict of interest. Semitransparent organic solar cells show attractive potential in the application of building-integrated photovoltaics, agrivoltaics, floating photovoltaics, and wearable electronics, as their multi...
