Two main issues are (1) PV systems’ efficiency drops by 10%–25% due to heating, requiring more land area, and (2) current storage technologies, like batteries, rely on unsustainably sourced materials. This paper proposes a hybrid device combining a molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage system with PV cell.
However, the intermittent nature of solar energy results in a high dependence on weather conditions of solar cells. Integrated solar cell-energy storage systems that integrate solar cells and energy storage devices may solve this problem by storing the generated electricity and managing the energy output.
This paper proposes a hybrid device combining a molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage system with PV cell. The MOST system, made of elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and nitrogen, avoids the need for rare materials.
Maxwell Technologies said today (2 June) that its HJ solar cell reached a conversion efficiency of 25.05% during testing. PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 8-9 October 2024 is our second PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector.
The solar thermal energy storage efficiency η experiment of the MOST system has been determined to reach up to 2.3%, representing the highest recorded efficiency to date. 34 Additionally, the inclusion of the MOST system as a non-heating temperature stabilizer with optical filter effect can further enhance the efficiency of the PV cell.
This layer employs a molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage system to convert and store high-energy photons—typically underutilized by solar cells due to thermalization losses—into chemical energy. Simultaneously, it effectively cools the PV cell through both optical effects and thermal conductivity.
