Development of ZnO Buffer Layers for As‐Doped CdSeTe/CdTe Solar Cells with Efficiency Exceeding 20% Open

Luksa Kujovic, Xiaolei Liu, Mustafa Togay, Ali Abbas, Adam M. Law , et al. · 2025

The front buffer layer plays an important role in CdSeTe/CdTe solar cells and helps achieve high conversion efficiencies. Incorporating ZnO buffer layers in the CdSeTe/CdTe device structure has led to highly efficient and stable solar cell…

Designing hydrophobic, anti-soiling coatings for solar module cover glass: degradation mechanisms to avoid Open

Luke O. Jones, Adam M. Law, Gary W. Critchlow, John M. Walls · 2025

In-depth XPS was used to identify the degradation mechanisms of hydrophobic coatings used for solar modules. Oxygen found in the central chain resulted in performance losses due to β chain scission in UV exposure, and hydrolyzation in duri…

Achieving 21.4% Efficient CdSeTe/CdTe Solar Cells Using Highly Resistive Intrinsic ZnO Buffer Layers Open

Luksa Kujovic, Xiaolei Liu, Ali Abbas, Luke O. Jones, Adam M. Law , et al. · 2023

In this study, the use of intrinsic and highly insulating ZnO buffer layers to achieve high conversion efficiencies in CdSeTe/CdTe solar cells is reported. The buffer layers are deposited on commercial SnO 2 :F coated soda‐lime glass subst…

The performance and durability of Anti-reflection coatings for solar module cover glass – a review Open

Adam M. Law, Luke O. Jones, John M. Walls · 2023

Solar photovoltaics (PV) is an important source of renewable energy for a sustainable future, and the installed capacity of PV modules has recently surpassed 1TWp worldwide. PV modules experience reflection losses of ∼4% at the front glass…

ETFE and its Role in the Fabrication of Lightweight c-Si Solar Modules Open

Fabiana Lisco, Farwah Bukhari, Luke O. Jones, Adam M. Law, John M. Walls , et al. · 2023

Glass-free, lightweight, photovoltaic modules have the potential to enable new uses of solar in building integrated and vehicle integrated applications. Glass-free modules have the advantages of reduced weight, lower-cost mounting solution…

Testing the Abrasion Resistance of Porous SiO<sub>2</sub> Anti-reflection Coatings for Solar Cover Glass Open

Adam M. Law, Farwa Bukhari, Luke O. Jones, Ali Abbas, John M. Walls · 2022

The cover glass sheet on solar modules can cause reflection losses as well as soiling build-up. Reflection losses can be addressed with anti-reflection (AR) coatings, whilst soiling is removed by mechanical cleaning processes that are effe…

Performance and durability of thin film solar cells via testing the abrasion resistance of broadband anti-reflection coatings Open

Sibel YILMAZ EKİNCİ, Seda SANCAKLI, Adam M. Law, John M. Walls · 2022

Reflection from the front glass of solar modules causes over 4% optical loss leading to a significant decrease in module efficiency. Single layer solution gelation (sol-gel) anti-reflective (AR) coatings are effective over a narrow range o…

Next steps in the footprint project: A feasibility study of installing solar panels on Bath Abbey Open

Matthew J. Smiles, Adam M. Law, Adam N. Urwick, L. Thomas, Lewis Irvine , et al. · 2022

Reduction of the carbon footprint of historic buildings is urgent, given their exceptionally large energy demand. In this study, the performance and cost of a roof mounted photovoltaic system has been simulated for Bath Abbey, a grade I li…

Artificial linear brush abrasion of coatings for photovoltaic module first-surfaces Open
