Solar or Photovoltaic (PV) Materials: Emerging Technologies

Solar Materials Developments to Watch Going Forward

Over the past fifteen years, Solar or Photovoltaic (PV) technology has progressed from a small, splintered market to a major source of electricity. After hydroelectric and wind power, solar is the third most significant source of renewable energy.

Cumulative photovoltaic capacity now supplies 2% of global electricity demand. Electronic materials have greater opportunities in photovoltaic development where organic PV cell efficiency is being advanced. This article deals with some of the emerging solar/PV electronic material technologies including:

PBT-OP to increase cell efficacy by 30%
Inverse opal structure to increase light-trapping capability
Multilayer backsheet for CSi-based PV modules
And more…
