TaShemau Innovative Materials develops advanced material technologies for the energy sector, with a focus on solutions that improve PV performance, reduce lifetime losses, and increase the economic value of solar installations.
Problem at hand
PV modules are inherently semiconductor devices the performance of which degrades with increasing temperature. The rated PV output power is greatly reduced when this increasing temperature. This behavior is particularly significant in hot weather climate.
How to compensate for energy yield loss from PV assets due to hot weather without adding extra capacity?
How to reduce hot weather impact on your PV assets longevity?
Our work begins with simple questions: How can materials innovation help solar assets produce more value over their operating lifetime?
How can we protect lifetime yield from heat-driven performance loss?
