Mastering UV Down-Conversion Encapsulation Film - Risen

Mastering UV Down-Conversion Encapsulation Film – Risen’s New Milestone in HJT Hyper-ion Technology

The better the passivation effect of a solar cell, the more susceptible it is to UV light. Achieving higher solar cell conversion efficiency requires effective surface passivation. High bulk and surface recombination rates can limit the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and reduce the fill factor (FF) of the solar cells. Therefore, applying high-quality surface passivation layers to suppress surface recombination is a prerequisite for achieving high-efficiency solar cells.
