Key Points

  • Polymers enable solar cells to achieve efficiency greater than 18%, improving energy output significantly.
  • Encapsulants ensure protection against UV and moisture, enhancing the longevity of solar cells under varied conditions.
  • Self-cleaning coatings maintain up to 95% output, contributing to lower maintenance requirements and higher performance.
  • Stretchable polymers open avenues for wearable solar modules, accommodating up to 50% strain while maintaining functionality.

Abstract

Polymers enable flexible, lightweight solar cells with >18% efficiency. Encapsulants boost UV and moisture resistance. Self-cleaning coatings retain 95% output, and stretchable polymers allow wearable modules with up to 50% strain.
