Effect of Germanium in Silicon for Solar Applications
(Master thesis, 2016)The effect of Ge in multicrystalline Silicon wafers is studied along with a comparison in smaller scale systems (microwires). -
Effects of Shading on PV Power Production in Norwegian Climates
(Master thesis, 2018)Policy, and a significant decrease in cost have played a major role in bringing photovoltaic solar to the forefront as a renewable energy source and a lucrative business opportunity around the world. The Norwegian solar ... -
Natural Dyes as Candidate Materials for Organic Solar Cells - An Optical, Electronic and Structural Characterisation
(Master thesis, 2018)Natural dyes strongly absorbing light in the visible spectrum are appealing ma- terials for the use in organic solar cells, due to their direct availability from nature. An especially interesting potential application ... -
Optimization of the casting process for silicon nitride crucibles
(Master thesis, 2017)As renewable energy sources get to replace conventional fossil fuel power plants, solar cells will come to play a major role. For this purpose, their efficiency must be enhanced and their cost minimized in order to compete ... -
Properties of multicrystalline silicon wafers and case study of PV module viability analysis
(Master thesis, 2017)Multicrystalline silicon solar cells are becoming a major stream technology. The main reason is the increase of efficiency of solar cells and constant production costs decline. In some countries PV can directly compete ... -
Recovery and Utilisation of Kerf Waste from Silicon Wafering Process
(Master thesis, 2018)While the green credentials of solar photovoltaic technology are often touted, there is still substantial room for improvement in the silicon solar photovoltaic value chain. In particular, silicon kerf which is a byproduct ... -
Study end surfaces of GaAsSb NW grown on graphene by electron microscopy
(Master thesis, 2018)III-V nanowires (NWs) are attractive for solar cells. Through the composition of the NWs, their bandgap and hence their electronic properties can be tuned, for example, to optimise absorption so that most of the Sun's ...
