  1. 1. Robust TCO’s for CIGS solar cells based on indium tin oxide

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Julia Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : photovoltaics; solar cells; thin film photovoltaics; PV; TCO; transparent conductive oxide; indium tin oxide; ITO; CIGS; solar power; sputtering; RF sputtering; radio frequency sputtering;

    Abstract : The increasing energy demand, combined with the use of harmful non-renewable energy sources calls for the search of alternative methods to cover our energy need.Renewable energy can be harvested in different ways, through the movement of wind and water, biomass, or directly from the rays of the sun, as in the case of photovoltaic (PV) devices.

  3. 2. Evaluation of solar powered systems in small scale UAV designs

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

    Author : Lukas Girlevicius; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) also know as drones are becoming increasingly present in modern societies. Despite their versatility and success in many areas, small scale UAVs which are nearly always battery powered and therefore have limited flight endurance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Technical performance evaluation of solar photovoltaic systems : A case study of eight PV systems on the Swedish market installed at RISE research facilities

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Awaz Sinan Rashid; Gulala Safari; [2021]
    Keywords : Building integrated photovoltaics; Building applied photovoltaics; Performance evaluation; Performance ratio; Specific energy yield; Module technology; Module temperature; Inverter size;

    Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate the technical performance of eight small-scale PV (photovoltaic) systems on the Swedish market. Several parameters were measured for each system from June to November 2020. READ MORE

  5. 4. Stability of electron acceptor materials for organic solar cells : a work function study of C60/C70 derivatives and N2200

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Sebastian Ekhagen; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thin films of the fullerenes PC60BM and PC70BM and the non-fullerene N2200, three popular electron acceptor materials in organic photovoltaics, have been studied, using both the Kelvin probe method as well as ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. With these methods the work function was measured, as well as the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) onset. READ MORE
