Fraunhofer ISE Develops the World’s Most Efficient Solar Cell with 47.6 Percent Efficiency – EQ Mag Pro
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, using a new antireflection coating, have successfully increased the efficiency of the best four-junction solar cell to date from 46.1 to 47.6 percent at a concentration of 665 suns. This is a global milestone, as there is currently no solar cell with a higher efficiency […]
European Photovoltaics Industry is Booming – Fraunhofer ISE Collaborates in Andalusian 5-Gigawatt Project
Next to wind energy, photovoltaics is the main pillar of the energy transition. While Germany and Europe in general are still leading when it comes to the research and development of solar cells and modules, the last ten years have seen the transfer of production to Asia. As a consequence, Europe risked losing its technological […]
Fraunhofer ISE’s CalLab PV Modules Improves Measurement Uncertainty to Record Value of 1.1 %
CalLab PV Modules of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has been re-accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) as an independent calibration laboratory according to the new standard DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2018. The laboratory reached a record measurement uncertainty of 1.1 percent in the calibration of photovoltaic modules. The measurement reproducibility […]
Fraunhofer ISE Sets Two Records for the Efficiency of Silicon-Based Monolithic Triple-Junction Solar Cells
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have once again succeeded in raising the efficiency value of monolithic triple-junction solar cells made of silicon and III-V semiconductor materials. Using a combination of multiple absorber materials, these multi-junction photovoltaic cells exploit the energy from the solar spectrum significantly better than conventional silicon solar […]
