Degradation of Crystalline Si‐Based Solar Modules With Varying Material Combinations—Part I: Encapsulant Degradation

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
This work deals with the degradation of solar modules with varying material combinations under accelerated aging conditions. By in situ moisture measurements and simulations of oxygen ingress, the consumption of stabilizing additives and polymer degradation can be correlated spatially resolved with the penetrating stressors.

Photovoltaic Effect in a III‐IV‐V Compound Semiconductor

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
A large reduction of the GaAs band gap is obtained with incorporation of 6.5% Ge during epitaxy without introducing extended defects or composition inhomogeneity. Heterojunction solar cell devices were fabricated with 0.76‐V open circuit voltage and an internal quantum efficiency above 40% at energies below the bandgap of the GaAs emitter.

Synergistic benefits of agrivoltaics for grape production and solar energy efficiency in a Mediterranean vineyard

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grapevine production is increasingly challenged by global warming, with global wine output falling to a six‐decade low in 2024. At the same time, the vine and wine sector faces growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Agrivoltaics, which integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) modules into plant production systems, offers a potential pathway to ...

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Photonic nanovoids for tailored optoelectronic response in silicon solar cells

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic workflow followed by experimental validation, demonstrating state‐of‐the‐art efficiency gains. Abstract As crystalline silicon (c‐Si) solar cells become thinner to reduce cost and weight, the optical design principles that govern light trapping (LT) must evolve.
