Optimizing Na and Rb Incorporation Along With Bandgap Grading for High Efficiency Ultra‐Thin CIGSe Solar Cells

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 1238-1255, October 2026.
In this work, Na and Rb are incorporated into ultra‐thin Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (< 500 nm). By systematically varying the Rb content and combining predeposited Na with postdeposited Rb, we identify the optimal configuration, achieving solar cell efficiencies of 11.72% on Mo and 10.48% on ITO. Through electrical and compositional measurements, a mechanistic model

A Novel Bipolar DC Connection Strategy for Photovoltaic Power Plants With a 50% Reduction in DC Cabling Length

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 4230-4247, September 2026.
Bipolar configuration is a new topology in the direct current (DC) system of photovoltaic power plants, which is topologically analogous to the bipolar configuration utilised in High‐Voltage Direct Current power transmission systems. DC cable length and copper usage are reduced by 50% using a bipolar configuration.
