Better Internal Electrical Connections – Better Solar Cells
August 11, 2021 | Leave a Comment
University of Utah researchers identified crucial electrical noise signals in solar cells that are completely invisible to conventional noise-measuring methods. They were also able to pinpoint the likely physical processes causing the noise, which often results in a loss of energy and lower efficiency. The physicists used cross-correlation noise spectroscopy to measure miniscule fluctuations in […]
