Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...

An international research team has observed a significant increase in series resistance in LECO-treated TOPCon solar cells after temperature and bias treatment. The scientists said they now need to ...

The study, published in Materials Future, demonstrates how thermal stress in both darkness and under light can significantly impact the durability of these solar cells. Perovskite materials, ...

China has quietly pulled off a feat that solar engineers have chased for years, pushing a new cell design to record ...

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry. The Chinese Module Marker (CMM), the OPIS benchmark ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Research reveals new type of back-contact solar cell design, using a perovskite material and tiny grooves embossed into plastic film, will enable scalable, low-cost manufacturing The elimination of ...

A new study published in Science led by researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill, with collaborators from the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI), explains why perovskite solar cells—fast-rising ...
