China’s Aiko to deliver 2 GW of All Back Contact modules to Australian shores from March

Chinese manufacturer Aiko showcased its GEN 2 N-type ABC (All Back Contact) modules at last week’s Smart Energy Expo, where the technology’s shade optimisation, enabled by its cells’ bypass diode function, made a splash. Pv magazine spoke to Aiko’s leadership about how its technology works and how the Australian market entrant plans to position itself down under.

Trina presents all-black 450 W solar modules with 22.5% efficiency

Solar technology manufacturer Trina Solar has developed an all-black version of its Vertex S+ solar module range that has a power output of up to 450 W with maximum efficiency of 22.5%.

Perovskite-perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell achieves record-breaking efficiency of 27.1%

Researchers in Singapore have built a triple junction tandem solar cell with an ultrawide-bandgap perovskite absorber integrating cyanate (OCN) ions. The cell surpassed the power conversion efficiencies previously reported for all other perovskite-based triple-junction tandems, as well as single-junction perovskite and silicon solar cells.

Weekend read: Thin prospects

The production of PV ingots and wafers remains the most highly concentrated of all the production stages in the silicon solar supply chain. Yet efforts to re-establish production in Europe and the United States are not for the faint-hearted.
