Physicists from Swansea University and bo Akademi University have made a significant breakthrough in solar cell technology by developing a new analytical model that improves the understanding and efficiency of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) devices.
For nearly eight decades, the so-called Shockley diode equation has explained how current flows through solar cells; the electrical current that
