The introduction of a nanometric germanium oxide layer drastically improved device performance and stability. As the global demand for clean energy accelerates, solar power continues to attract ...

Solar power is already cheap and effective, and it’s taking on a larger role in supplying energy needs all over the world. The thing about humanity, though, is that we always want more! Too much, you ...

Solar cells that combine traditional silicon with cutting-edge perovskites could push the efficiency of solar panels to new heights. Beyond Silicon, Caelux, First Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, Oxford PV, ...

Today’s solar panels are flat, and for good reason: A lack of texture maximizes the amount of surface area exposed to sunlight at a given time, regardless of where the Sun sits in the sky. However, by ...

Highly efficient silicon solar cells that are as flexible as a sheet of paper could offer a lightweight power source for applications such as uncrewed aerial vehicles while cutting the cost of solar ...

Perovskite solar cells are highly efficient and low cost in production. However, they still lack stability over the decades under real weather conditions. An international research collaboration has ...

Companies say perovskite tandem solar cells are only a few years from bringing record efficiencies to a solar project near you. In Swift Solar’s lab, more than a dozen pairs of elbow-length rubber ...

Researchers said the breakthrough "paves the way for electronics powered by the ambient light already present in our lives." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

A joint research team has successfully identified, for the first time, the specific types of defects responsible for efficiency loss in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. Subscribe to our ...
