One method for exploiting albedo-based power generation is the bifacial solar module (BFSM). It includes information on the bifacial solar module's energy, electrical and exergy efficiency, thermal exergy, and environmental analysis. The study contrasted the outcomes of the BFSM's east/west and north/south orientations. BFSM has been applied on both orientations with equal to latitude and equal to 30 degrees. The outcomes of all the aforementioned cases were compared and analyzed after outdoor experiments for the climatic condition were carried out in Minjur, Tamil Nadu. Under the specific climatic conditions, the 13-degree east/west module offers a shorter energy payback period, a better energy production factor (EPF), and a higher life cycle conversion efficiency (LCCE) when the life time of the system is considered as 10, 15, and 20 years. The environmental and economic analyses show that the most carbon credits from 13 degrees were earned with Rs. 14,925 and Rs. 192.89 from east/west module when the system's life was taken into account.

Power generation and architectural beauty are equally important for designing efficient and esthetically appealing bifacial perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, efficient and multicolored p-i-n-structured PSCs are achieved by taking advantage of a dielectric/metal/dielectric (DMD)-type (MoO/Ni/Ag/MoO) transparent counter electrode. The MoO/Ni underlayer effectively promotes the formation of a continuous and conductive ultrathin Ag transparent film, especially the 1 nm Ni seed layer adjusts the interface energy level between perovskite/MoO and Ag, resulting in Ohmic contact of the electrode to promote charge extraction and collection.

Flexible perovskite solar cells (F-PSCs) are appealing for their flexibility and high power-to-weight ratios. However, the fragile grain boundaries (GBs) in perovskite films can lead to stress and strain cracks under bending conditions, limiting the performance and stability of F-PSCs. Herein, we show that the perovskite film can facilely achieve in situ bifacial capping via introducing 4-(methoxy)benzylamine hydrobromide (MeOBABr) as the precursor additive.

Rationalizing the role of chemical interactions in the precursor solutions on the structure, morphology, and performance of thin-film CuZnSn(S,Se) (CZTSSe) is key for the development of bifacial and other photovoltaic (PV) device architectures designed by scalable solution-based methods. In this study, we uncover the impact of dimethylformamide (DMF) and isopropanol (IPA) solvent mixtures on cation complexation and rheology of the precursor solution, as well as the corresponding morphology, composition, and PV performance of CZTSSe thin-film grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO). We find that increasing the proportion of IPA leads to a nonlinear increase in dynamic viscosity due to the strong repulsion between DMF and IPA, which is characterized by an interaction cohesion parameter of 3.

Molybdenum telluride (MoTe) shows great promise as a solar absorber material for photovoltaic (PV) cells owing to its wide absorption range, adjustable bandgap, and lack of dangling bonds at the surface. In this research, a basic device structure comprising Pt/MoTe/ZnO/ITO/Al was developed, and its potential was assessed using the SCAPS-1D software. The preliminary device exhibited a photovoltaic efficiency of 23.

We present a radiative cooling material capable of enhancing albedo while reducing ground surface temperatures beneath fielded bifacial solar panels. Electrospinning a layer of polyacrylonitrile nanofibers, or nanoPAN, onto a polymer-coated silver mirror yields a total solar reflectance of 99 %, an albedo of 0.96, and a thermal emittance of 0.
