  • Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether Or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People's Republic of China
    ACCESS C-570-980 Administrative Review POR: 01/01/2017-12/31/2017 Public Document E&C/OVII: GHC January 31, 2020 MEMORANDUM TO: Jeffrey I. Kessler Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance FROM: James Maeder Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations SUBJECT: Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the Administrative Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People’s Republic of China; 2017 ______________________________________________________________________________ I. SUMMARY The Department of Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells) from the People’s Republic of China (China), covering the period of review (POR) January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The mandatory respondents are JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd. (JA Solar) and Risen Energy Co., Ltd. (Risen Energy). This is the sixth administrative review of the CVD order on solar cells from China. We preliminarily find that JA Solar and Risen Energy received countervailable subsidies during the POR. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we will issue the final results of this review by no later than 120 days after the publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register.

  • Encapsulation of Organic and Perovskite Solar Cells: a Review
    Review Encapsulation of Organic and Perovskite Solar Cells: A Review Ashraf Uddin *, Mushfika Baishakhi Upama, Haimang Yi and Leiping Duan School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney 2052, Australia; [email protected] (M.B.U.); [email protected] (H.Y.); [email protected] (L.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 November 2018; Accepted: 21 January 2019; Published: 23 January 2019 Abstract: Photovoltaic is one of the promising renewable sources of power to meet the future challenge of energy need. Organic and perovskite thin film solar cells are an emerging cost‐effective photovoltaic technology because of low‐cost manufacturing processing and their light weight. The main barrier of commercial use of organic and perovskite solar cells is the poor stability of devices. Encapsulation of these photovoltaic devices is one of the best ways to address this stability issue and enhance the device lifetime by employing materials and structures that possess high barrier performance for oxygen and moisture. The aim of this review paper is to find different encapsulation materials and techniques for perovskite and organic solar cells according to the present understanding of reliability issues. It discusses the available encapsulate materials and their utility in limiting chemicals, such as water vapour and oxygen penetration. It also covers the mechanisms of mechanical degradation within the individual layers and solar cell as a whole, and possible obstacles to their application in both organic and perovskite solar cells. The contemporary understanding of these degradation mechanisms, their interplay, and their initiating factors (both internal and external) are also discussed.

Graphene and few-layer graphene fillers, produced by a scalable environmentally-friendly liquid-phase exfoliation technique, were incorporated into conventional thermal interface materials. Graphene-enhanced thermal interface materials have been applied between a solar cell and heat sink to improve heat dissipation. The performance of the multi-junction solar cells has been tested using an industry-standard solar simulator under a light concentration of up to 2000 suns. It was found that the application of graphene-enhanced thermal interface materials allows one to reduce the solar cell temperature and increase the open-circuit voltage. We demonstrated that the use of graphene helps in recovering a significant amount of the power loss due to solar cell overheating. The obtained results are important for the development of new technologies for thermal management of concentrated photovoltaic solar cells.
