Abstract: This special issue of the Journal of Solar Energy Engineering is dedicated to photovoltaics. Presently, with approximately 5GW of installed capacity, PV contributes only 0.15% to the world’s ...

Abstract: In this work the complete equations of one-dimensional unsteady flow in open channels in integral form, and compatibility equations at the junctions of a channel network, are solved numerically. Analytical integration in ...

Abstract: With a 63.2% theoretical efficiency limit, the intermediate band solar cell (IBSC) is a new photovoltaic device proposed to overcome the 40.7% efficiency limit of conventional single gap solar ...
