“…The designed materials for these applications have increased a lot in recent years, which has transformed the total cost of this technology, likely is due to the fast increase in efficiency as well as the simplicity of fabrication of these devices. For instance, photovoltaic devices based on silicon can be considered, currently, as the main photovoltaic material used today, prevailing the photovoltaic market with a high-power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 27.6%, however, it has high production costs (Glunz et al, 2012;National Renewable Energy Laboratory, 2019;Velilla et al, 2019). Fine-film solar cells based on perovskite-related materials are also under intense investigation, however, where these devices exhibit PCEs normally in the range of 10 to 25%.…”

The magic reducible oxides properties likely are mainly due to the presence of oxygen defects and their rich surface chemistry, which provide a rational pathway to the emergent of entirely new properties. Although significant progress has performed in the last years, it can be stated that they are not fully understood at the nanoscale level so far. This mini-review provides a comprehensive perspective on the oxygen defects and surface chemistry of reducible oxides based on materials with two-dimensional (2D) structure. Thus, in this perspective, we intend to discuss some of the main challenges and opportunities in this important field of research in materials chemistry and engineering. From a practical standpoint, chemical insights from defect-engineering may provide vital clues for improving synthetic methods and understanding fundamental nanoscale properties, driving innovation in the field of reducible oxides based on 2D structure materials.

“…[ 22,39,54,63,69 ] In addition, outdoor performance test of perovskite mini‐module (17 and 50 cm 2 ) in varied atmospheric conditions, 18–42 °C for temperature and 0–1200 W m −2 for irradiance intensity, supports the potential of PSMs, which results in comparable PV parameters with commercial Si modules. [ 89 ] The observed positive dependence of V OC on the temperature under high irradiance particularly makes the PSM more competitive with conventional PV modules. [ 89 ] Furthermore, PSMs are highly promising in terms of lightweight, [ 90 ] exhibiting 29 W g −1 power‐per‐weight compared with that of 8.31 W g −1 for Si‐solar module.…”

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) reached 25.5% of certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) in 2020. A remarkable PCE of PSCs has urged scalable technologies to grow for manufacturing modules. Therefore, scalable technology is rapidly developing though the performance of perovskite solar modules (PSMs) is still far behind that of PSCs. Herein, the recent progress in scalable technologies is reviewed with addressing important parameters in each process. In addition, the performance measurement protocols for PSMs are specifically discussed based on International Electrotechnical Commission to be prepared from the industrial point of view. Finally, the environmental hazard impact by accidental lead leakage and the introduction of green solvent to replace of current toxic solvent are described.

“…Some researchers have analyzed the performance of the modules for tracking system, finding optimum tilt angle, and cell design under desert climate [ 26 ], but these are not directly related to our NEM study. Researchers from other countries, such as Pakistan [ 19 , 21 ], Colombia [ 22 ], Australia [ 14 ], Southeast UK [ 18 ], Doha [ 17 ] etc. also conducted similar analysis of the different modules.…”

Photovoltaic modules evaluation and dry-season energy yield prediction model for NEM in Malaysia

This study analyzes the performance of two PV modules, amorphous silicon (a-Si) and crystalline silicon (c-Si) and predicts energy yield, which can be seen as facilitation to achieve the target of 35% reduction of greenhouse gases emission by 2030. Malaysia Energy Commission recommends crystalline PV modules for net energy metering (NEM), but the climate regime is a concern for output power and efficiency. Based on rainfall and irradiance data, this study aims to categorize the climate of peninsular Malaysia into rainy and dry seasons; and then the performance of the two modules are evaluated under the dry season. A new mathematical model is developed to predict energy yield and the results are validated through experimental and systematic error analysis. The parameters are collected using a self-developed ZigBeePRO-based wireless system with the rate of 3 samples/min over a period of five days. The results unveil that efficiency is inversely proportional to the irradiance due to negative temperature coefficient for crystalline modules. For this phenomenon, efficiency of c-Si (9.8%) is found always higher than a-Si (3.5%). However, a-Si shows better shadow tolerance compared to c-Si, observed from a lesser decrease rate in efficiency of the former with the increase in irradiance. Due to better spectrum response and temperature coefficient, a-Si shows greater performance on output power efficiency (OPE), performance ratio (PR), and yield factor. From the regression analysis, it is found that the coefficient of determination (R2) is between 0.7179 and 0.9611. The energy from the proposed model indicates that a-Si yields 15.07% higher kWh than c-Si when luminance for recorded days is 70% medium and 30% high. This study is important to determine the highest percentage of energy yield and to get faster NEM payback period, where as of now, there is no such model to indicate seasonal energy yield in Malaysia.
