Solcellsteknik med nätanslutning är relativt nytt i Sverige och lagarna är oklara vad gäller anläggningar på bostadshus villor och offentliga hus. I analysen redovisas den ekonomiska aspekten av producerad solcellsel och konsumtionen av denna. Solcellsanläggningen på kommunhuset i Mönsterås har studerats, varvid följande resultat har framkommit: från de installerade solcellerna (210 kvm), får man 10 % av den totala energiförbrukningen i byggnaden. Kostnaden för solcellerna och installationen av dem är subventionerade av staten med 70 %. För den resterande kostnaden skulle solcellerna vara i br

This thesis explores new types of perovskite and perovskite-like materials for photovoltaics, with a view towards demonstrating novel and low-cost materials such as metal oxide perovskites for photovoltaics. The first part explores the prototypical organometal halide perovskite CH3NH3Pbl3, where CH3NH3 = methylammonium (MA). MAPbl3 has been studied by the partial replacement of its organic component, MA, with the larger molecule ethylenediammonium (EDA), with the chemical formula NH3(CH2)2NH3.

Abstract:
Semiconductive organic polymer and small molecule materials are widely researched for the fabrication of low cost, large area and flexible organic photovoltaic devices. Semiconductor nanocrystals which demonstrate size tuneable optical bandgaps, can be incorporated with organic materials to enable wider spectral absorption and consequently improve the power conversion efficiency (n) of organic photovoltaics. Hybrid systems fabricated with wide bandgap (CdSe, CdTe) nanocrystals have reported promising results to this end. However, in order to further increase the spectral absorption of solar ir

Abstract:
Solar cells have been traditionally developed for optimizing three key steps for charge carriers: generation, separation, and transport. Conventional solar cells are essentially PN junction based, and utilize the internal electric field near the junction interface for realizing charge carrier separation. However, this kind of structure limits material choices and device fabrication to form a working junction due to issues such as lattice mismatch, doping, and band alignment. Ferroelectric photovoltaic devices with typical capacitor structure have been developed to overcome the junction caused

Abstract:
The development of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) has attracted a lot of attention due to their potential to create a low cost flexible solar cell platform. In general, an OPV is comprised of a number of layers of thin films that include the electrodes, active layers and barrier films. Thus, with all of the interfaces within OPV devices, the potential for failure exists in numerous locations if adhesion at the interface between layers is inherently low or if a loss of adhesion due to device aging is encountered. To date, few studies have focused on the basic properties of adhesion in organic

Abstract:
A computational investigation of some optoelectronic applications of carbon nanotubes (CNT) is presented, including CNT-based solar cells and biosensors. The results could be used to evaluate the performance of CNT devices and clarify the necessity of further experimental research in this area. A coaxially-gated CNT field-effect transistor (CNFET) forms the basic structure of the devices modeled in this thesis. Diffusive transport is present in long-channel devices, as in our case, while the quantum mechanical effects are mainly present in the form of tunneling from Schottky-barrier contacts a

Abstract:
With the growing importance of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) as an attractive, low cost and sustainable energy source the field has been investigated intensively, showing high potential for commercialisation. To further improve device performance, different routes of development have been explored targeting interfaces that play a crucial role in device performance including the donor (D)/acceptor (A) and electrode/photoactive layer interfaces, as well as incorporation of new materials.
