.@ASUnews highlights @QESSTERC #solar #photovoltaics program, which just earned 6 @ENERGY Department SunShot Awards asunow.asu.edu/20170717-disco…

Good news - the affordability of decarbonizing energy is projected to be on par with business-as-usual! nap.edu/catalog/25932/…

I am very pleased to share the excellent work of our student Joseph Karas (soon to be Dr.) on degradation of copper‐plated silicon solar cells. #photovoltaic #solarenergy #sustainability @ASU @ASUEngineering @QESSTERC onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

I'am very pleased to share the great work of Pradeep Balaji on surface passivation of very thin silicon heterojunction solar cells. Congrats! @QESSTERC @ASU @ASUEngineering @asunews @EUPVSEC #photovoltaic #renewableenergy #Solar sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you to those that came out to our QESST Presentation Expo - and special thanks to our keynote speakers Eli Yablonovitch, Philip Schulz, and the QESST Best Paper Winner Sashwat Roy! You can request video recordings by emailing qesst.slc@gmail.com.

News from 15th CSPV, Shanghai (Fraunhofer ISE): TopCon have a CAPEX 10% higher than PERC (new industry standard) and a 25% higher OPEX (silver consumption drives the cost). To be competitive TopCon efficiency must be >24.5%. #solarenergy #china #photovoltaic #renewableenergy

Recycling PV is becoming more and more a concern among the largest world PV manufactures. We are installing 42000 photovoltaic panels every hour! In 2034, only in China, this will represent a PV waste volume of 60-70GW! News @PVSEC-29 @QESSTERC #solarenergy

@PVSEC-29 Xi’An, China - Top chinese solar cell efficiencies in 2019: SHJ: 24.85% by Hanergy, TopCon-like 24.58% by Trina Solar, PERC-mono 24.03% by Longi, PERC-multi 22.8% by Canadian Solar, CIGS 22.92% by Hanergy Solibro, 29.1% GaAs Hanergy Alta Device #solarenergy @QESSTERC

Latest results on thin silicon solar cells research @ASU @QESSTERC @ASUEngineering. Flexible screen-printed 40 um-thick silicon solar cells with efficiencies reaching 21% where presented @EUPVSEC in Marseille, France. #solarenergy

Congrats April !!!

Today's talk "Silicon: Pushing the boundaries of commercial photovoltaic & new applications" by André Augusto at @EPE_Brasil. @QESSTERC @ASU #photovoltaic #pv #energy #renewableenergy #research #technology #inovation

Our very own @clarkamiller debating Arizona’s Proposition 127.

Good luck to all of the REUs, RETs and Young Scholars who will be presenting their posters today at the Solar Power Lab at the @ASU Research Park. We can’t wait to see the amazing work you’ve done this summer!

We are pleased you took the time to visit all the exciting project in HOST Park! twitter.com/QESSTERC/statu…

Thanks for coming in today Bret! twitter.com/bretfanshaw/st…

Congratulations to our very own @Bertoni_ASU for winning the PVSC Napkin Award at @IEEEPVSC

We had an incredible visit yesterday with @BluePlanet_Tech. They’re doing amazing work with storage technologies!

👋 👋 👋 Hi Tara! cc: @Bertoni_ASU twitter.com/ieeepvsc/statu…

I'm Nicholas Valdes (go by Nick) and I'm going into my 4th year at University of Delaware. I'm doing research on low bandgap CIGS solar cells for tandem solar cells. #WCPEC7GSA

I’m Khim Kharel fifth year graduate student at university of Houston. I am doing research in dilute nitride quantum engineering solar cells for silicon tandem applications. #WCPEC7GSA

Hi, this is Simone, 5th year PhD student at Arizona State University. I work on defects characterization in c-Si and surface passivation #WCPEC7GSA
