Photovoltaic Lifetime Testing Apparatus for Improved Perovskite Cell Efficiency

北卡罗来纳大学应用能源研究中心将与位于哈利法克斯的初创公司瑞利太阳能技术公司合作，设计并建造一个价格合理、高通量钙钛矿太阳能电池寿命测试设备的原型。钙钛矿光伏电池是一种新型的太阳能发电电池，具有重量轻、成本低、柔性强等特点。钙钛矿在太阳能发电中的应用可以在全球能源转型中为可再生电力开辟新的机遇。NSCC和瑞利太阳能技术公司正在共同建造的系统是为了测试钙钛矿电池在模拟太阳辐射和长期使用下的输出。该测试系统将被瑞利太阳能技术公司用于提高钙钛矿光伏电池的产量和寿命。

NSCC Applied Energy Research will work in partnership with Rayleigh Solar Tech, a startup company based in Halifax, to design and build a prototype of an affordable, high throughput perovskite solar cell lifetime testing apparatus. Perovskite photovoltaic (PV) cells are a new kind of solar electricity generating cell that is lightweight, low-cost, and flexible. Use of perovskite in solar power generation can open up new opportunities for renewable electricity in the global energy transition. The system NSCC and Rayleigh Solar Tech are building together is for testing the output of the perovskite cells under simulated solar radiation and long-term use. This testing system will be used by Rayleigh Solar Tech to improve the output and longevity of perovskite PV cells.
