Renewable energy sources (RES) for powering desalination processes is a promising option especially in remote and arid regions where the use of conventional energy is costly or unavailable. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is one of the most suitable desalination processes to be coupled with different...

The present paper reports on a simulation study carried out to determine and optimize the effect of the high–low junction emitter (n+-n) on thin silicon solar cell performance. The optimum conditions for the thickness and doping level of the front surface layer with a Gaussian profile were...
