Imec will present its recent achievements un photovoltaics (PV) at the European PV Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC), including n-PERT solar cells, perovskite solar cell technology and emerging PV energy yield prediction modeling.
Presenting a total of 19 papers, 12 of which are oral presentations, imec will highlight its new record conversion efficiency of 22.5% for a six inch n-PERT solar cell. N-type silicon solar cells are considered as promising next-generation alternatives to p-type solar cells.
In another presentation at EU PVSEC, imec’s perovskite solar cell, which has been improved to reach new highest conversion efficiencies of 17%, will also be featured. Integrated into a module, a 12.5% record module efficiency was demonstrated, further validating that organometal halide perovskites are a promising material for thin-film solar applications.
Imec has developed a simulation model that combines imec’s knowledge of solar cell technology with short term weather predictions. At the conference, imec will present modeling results that predict energy yield from solar panels under non-homogeneous irradiation.
