Paper alert – intrinsic performance loss rate of PV systems!

— Happy to share our new article 'Intrinsic performance loss rate: Decoupling reversible and irreversible losses for an improved assessment of photovoltaic system performance', published in Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications. This study discusses the integration of fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) with performance loss rate (PLR) evaluations of PV systems to filter out reversible losses like shading, snow and downtime, which can bias PLR estimates.

Paper alert – Blade-Coating of High Crystallinity CsFA perovskites!

— PV-Lab is happy to share that our latest paper "Blade-Coating of High Crystallinity Cesium-Formamidinium Perovskite Formulations" has been published in ACS AM&I! This work has been dedicated to the transfer of the optimized Cs0.15FA0.85PbI3 film deposition from a lab-scale process to a more industrially compatible coating method, i.e., blade-coating on the way to scaling up for perovskite solar cells.
