Outdoor performance of organic photovoltaics: Diurnal analysis, dependence on temperature, irradiance, and degradation
Noel Bristow,Jeff Kettle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the outdoor dependence of temperature and diurnal irradiance on inverted organic photovoltaic (OPV) module performance has been analyzed and benchmarked against monocrystalline-silicon (c-Si) technology, and it is observed that OPVs exhibit poorer performance under low light conditions, such as overcast days, as a result of inflexion behaviour in the current-voltage curves, which limits the open-circuit voltage (VOC) and fill factor.

Outdoor performance monitoring of perovskite solar cell mini-modules: Diurnal performance, observance of reversible degradation and variation with climatic performance
TL;DR: In this article, the outdoor performance monitoring of two types of perovskite solar cell (PSC) mini-modules based on two different absorbers - CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPI) and Cs0.05FA0.83MA0.13)3 (FMC) is reported.

Outdoor organic photovoltaic module characteristics: Benchmarking against other PV technologies for performance, calculation of Ross coefficient and outdoor stability monitoring
Noel Bristow,Jeff Kettle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of performance parameters for first, second and third generation organic photovoltaic (OPV) technologies has been conducted, and the linear relationship between irradiance and module temperature rise above ambient is studied, leading to calculation of values for the Ross coefficient for OPV modules.

Three dimensional corrugated organic photovoltaics for building integration; improving the efficiency, oblique angle and diffuse performance of solar cells
Jeff Kettle,Noel Bristow,Tracy K. N. Sweet,Nick Jenkins,Gisele Alves dos Reis Benatto,Mikkel Jørgensen,Frederik C. Krebs +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the lamination of OPV modules to corrugated roof cladding has been undertaken, and the 3D form of the cladding provides three advantages for outdoor OPV deployment; first, the "footprint" of the solar cell is reduced, which leads to ∼10% improved power conversion (PCE) efficiency per unit area.
Effect of processing additive 1,8-octanedithiol on the lifetime of PCPDTBT based Organic Photovoltaics
Huw Waters,Noel Bristow,Omar Moudam,Shu-Wei Chang,Chun-Jen Su,Wei-Ru Wu,U.-Ser Jeng,Masaki Horie,Jeff Kettle +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of processing additives on the lifetime of PCPDTBT-based OPVs has been investigated, and the results show conclusively that whilst ODT processing additive enhances the initial performance of OPVs, it is detrimental to their long term performance, when measured under light soaking at 1 Sun of irradiance.
