Through rigorous loss analysis of Jinko Solar's record 26.7% TOPCon cells, ANU researchers have identified the key barriers to higher efficiency and mapped a clear pathway to 27%+ performance using advanced simulation tools to quantify optical, recombination, and resistive losses.

Live recording of Dr. Daniel MacDonalds plenary presentation from the 53rd IEEE PVSC 2025 in Montreal. This excerpt covers slides 8 to 10 which look in detail at the loss analysis of champion efficiency TOPCon solar cells.

As perovskite-silicon tandem modules move toward commercialization, crucial questions emerge about system integration, voltage compatibility, spectral response, and energy yield modeling that will define the next generation of solar technology.

Live recording of Dr. Malcolm Abbotts presentation from the 53rd IEEE PVSC 2025 in Montreal, covering spectral correction methods for yield forecasting of perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules. The talk explores how spectral effects are significantly stronger in tandems compared to conventional silicon cells, and demonstrates integration approaches for both advanced simulation software and industry-standard tools like PVSyst.

The Evolutionary Optimiser is a powerful new tool that helps PV engineers optimise the design of their solar cells and modules. Leveraging a genetic algorithm, the Optimiser computes input values that maximise output power, reducing manual effort and accelerating development cycles.

This video serves as a tutorial to using the new optimisation tool in SunSolve Power.

Learn how to model non-uniform ground reflectivity in SunSolve-Yield using custom objects and material settings. This tutorial shows the impact of spatially varying albedo on bifacial module performance with clear, step-by-step guidance.

This video show you how you to sweep inputs in SunSolve-Power. It also highlights how the user interface for this changed in version 7.

We were recently invited by PVTech Power magazine to share our thoughts on why yield forecast uncertainty is frequently underestimated and what can be done to resolve it.

This video shows you how you to solve AC using SunSolve Yield accounting for both cell-to-cell and module-to-module mismatch

We surveyed the audience at the ACP Resource and Technology Conference 2024 to find out how much uncertainty matters.

Australian software developer PV Lighthouse has secured almost AUD 1.97 million ($1.32 million) to drive development of its SunSolve Yield advanced simulation engine, which is designed to improve yield forecasting for utility-scale solar projects.
