This journal focuses on research and applications in photovoltaics, specifically investigating the performance, degradation, and stability of various solar cell technologies. It covers advancements in silicon-based solar cells, including heterojunction (HJT), passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC), tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon), and ultra-thin cells. The journal also explores perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and their stability challenges, as well as materials and encapsulation techniques for improving durability and efficiency. Applications in space, building integration, and lightweight designs are also discussed.
