  1. 11. Transparent conductive oxides deposited by magnetron sputtering: synthesis and characterization

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Mathias Axelsson; [2019]
    Keywords : TCO; AZO; solar cell; magnetron sputtering;

    Abstract : The thesis has dealt with transparent conducting oxide (TCO) materials, with a focus on Al:ZnO and with studies on Sn:In2O3 and ZnO. TCOs are a material group that is used for its properties of being conductive and at the same time transparent. READ MORE

  3. 12. Understanding interfaces in thin-film solar cells using photo electron spectroscopy. : Effect of post-deposition treatment on composition of the solar cell absorber.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Henrik Hansson; [2019]
    Keywords : solar cell; P-N junction; CIGS; PES; cross section;

    Abstract : The increasing demand of renewable energy is the big driving force for the research and development of more efficient solar energy conversion solutions. Solar cells, which use the photovoltaic effect to convert the photon energy to electrical current, are an important solar energy conversion technique. READ MORE

  4. 13. Advanced rear contact design for CIGS solar cells

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jorge Alexandre De Abreu Mafalda; [2019]
    Keywords : CIGS; HfO2; surface passivation; alkali treatment; point contact openings; SCAPS;

    Abstract : The current trend concerning the thinning of solar cell devices is mainly motivated by economic aspects, such as the cost of the used rare-earth elements, and by the requirements of emergent technologies. The introduction of ultra-thin absorber layers results in a reduction of used materials and thus contributes to a more cost-effective and time-efficient production process. READ MORE

  5. 14. A comparison study of PV and battery technologies for EWB off-grid electrification projects in Sub-Saharan Africa

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Felix Vedin; Camilla Sandström; [2018]
    Keywords : PV; Photovoltaic; Solar cells; Solar panels; Batteries; Africa; Sub-Sahara; Mikronät; Comparison; Case study; Simulation; Manual; EWB; Engineers without borders; Solceller; Solpaneler; Batterier; Afrika; Sub-Sahara; Mikronät; Jämförelse; Simulation; Manual; Ingenjörer utan gränser;

    Abstract : Only 10 % of the rural population in Sub-Saharan Africa has access to electricity. At the same time the Sub-Saharan countries are close to the equator and get many sun hours a day, leading to a huge potential for solar energy. READ MORE
