The crystalline silicon heterojunction structure adopted in photovoltaic modules commercialized as Panasonic's HIT has significantly reduced recombination loss, resulting in greater conversion… (More)
A new record conversion efficiency of 24.7% was attained at the research level by using a heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer structure of practical size (101.8 cm2, total area) at a 98-μm… (More)
The world's highest conversion efficiency levels of 21.8% (Voc: 0.718 V, Isc: 3.852 A, FF: 79.0%, confirmed by AIST) with a practical size of 100.4 cm2 has been achieved by using the HIT… (More)
To increase the competitiveness of HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer) solar cells, we have been working on the enhancing their conversion efficiency. This time, we improved the… (More)
The highest conversion efficiency to date of 21.5% (confirmed by AIST) with a size of 100.3 cm/sup 2/ has been achieved in an HIT cell. Because of this high efficiency and the cell's superior… (More)
Because of high permittivity of SrTiO/sub 3/ (STO) substrate, YBCO high-Tc SQUIDs have distributed impedance. Based on the simulation by the analytical method to calculate the I-V characteristic, we… (More)
We have been researching and developing HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer) solar cells to obtain high conversion efficiency. Last year, we updated the world's highest conversion… (More)
We are developing HIT solar cells with high conversion efficiency, which was achieved the world's highest conversion efficiency of 22.3% in a practical size solar cell in July 2007. We have four main… (More)
