How does location determine the economic competitiveness of grid-scale Emerging PV? (2022)
Journal Article
Nieto-Díaz, B. A., Crossland, A. F., & Groves, C. (2022). How does location determine the economic competitiveness of grid-scale Emerging PV?. Energy Technology, 10(5), Article 2101012. https://doi.org/10.1002/ente.202101012

Emerging Photovoltaic (PV) devices with perovskite or organic absorber layers may play a substantial role in our energy future due to their potential low-cost manufacture and differing properties compared to established Silicon equivalents. However,... Read More about How does location determine the economic competitiveness of grid-scale Emerging PV?.

A levelized cost of energy approach to select and optimise emerging PV technologies: The relative impact of degradation, cost and initial efficiency (2021)
Journal Article
Nieto-Díaz, B. A., Crossland, A. F., & Groves, C. (2021). A levelized cost of energy approach to select and optimise emerging PV technologies: The relative impact of degradation, cost and initial efficiency. Applied Energy, 299, Article 117302. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2021.117302

A model of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is presented which accounts for the significant ‘burn-in’ losses common in photovoltaic (PV) devices with organic (OPV) and perovskite (PVK) absorber layers. This model is used to quantify the relative impor...

Enhanced lifetime of Organic Photovoltaic diodes achieved by blending with PMMA: Impact of morphology and Donor:Acceptor combination (2020)
Journal Article
Nieto-Díaz, B. A., Pearson, C., Al-Busaidi, Z., Bowen, L., Petty, M. C., & Groves, C. (2021). Enhanced lifetime of Organic Photovoltaic diodes achieved by blending with PMMA: Impact of morphology and Donor:Acceptor combination. Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 219, Article 110765. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solmat.2020.110765

In order to realise the potential of organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) to provide cheap, scalable access to renewable energy, it is necessary to improve their lifetime and cost of encapsulation. The aim of this work is to achieve these aims by blen...
