Japan-based technology company Sharp Corporation offers a range of space-qualified compound solar cells for use in low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and other spacecraft. It recently exhibited its ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

With energy prices still prone to sudden swings, more UK households are looking at solar as a way to cut bills and rely less on the grid. But once you start comparing the best solar panels, the next ...

Our research focuses on developing innovative materials that can improve solar cell technology. We specialize in creating new materials that can capture and transport solar energy more efficiently, ...

New research from Germany has shown how improving top-cell transparency and performance remains key to the commercialization of tandem perovskite-silicon solar cells, as well as for all other types of ...

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access even with advanced techniques. So far, researchers have relied mainly on X-ray ...

A vacuum-based process could make solar cells faster and cheaper to produce while delivering efficiency on surfaces used in ...

An electron-donor/electron-acceptor (EDG/EWG) ratio-guided molecular engineering strategy is established to optimize the ...

The same dirt that clings to astronauts' boots may one day keep their lights on. In a study published in Device, researchers created solar cells made out of simulated moon dust. The cells convert ...

For industrial production, the perovskite layer must be applied to tandem solar cells over a large area and uniformly.

Cutting-edge yacht and electric catamaran designer Sunreef Yachts has unveiled its latest generation of solar skin technology. The silicon solar cells, designed in-house by Sunreef, are now more ...

Higher-efficiency solar cells can generate more electricity from the same amount of sunlight.
