Mastering HJT, the solar technology of the future
Heterojunction solar cell technology (HJT) has revolutionised the way we think about solar energy. The cells are made from two materials, crystalline silicon and amorphous thin-film silicon, to create a ‘sandwich’ effect, layered on top of each other and separated by a thin layer of intrinsic amorphous silicon. This combination allows for better charge carrier… Read more »
