Is stainless steel a good substrate for solar cells?

Stainless steel is composed of abundant materials and is a durable and flexible substrate, but impurities diffuse from the SS will reduces the efficiency of the solar cell ( Liu et al., 2015, Pianezzi et al., 2012, Zortea et al., 2018 ). Consequently, the prevention of impurity diffusion is required for solar cells on SS foil substrates.

What is a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure?

In order to respond to the national goal of “carbon neutralization” and make more rational and effective use of photovoltaic resources, combined with the actual photovoltaic substation project, a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure design is designed.
