These cells could be laminated onto various kinds of surfaces, such as the sails of a boat to provide power while at sea.

Perovskite-silicon hybrid solar cells, launching in 2026, promise 34% higher efficiency than traditional panels. This breakthrough combines advanced materials science and physics to accelerate global ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current. That mismatch has bothered solar researchers for more than a decade. Silicon ...

In a previous article, I wrote that if you were to start a solar business, the Nordic region would not be the obvious choice, and yet the challenges of doing so have created a thriving sector. But ...

A new solar panel reaches up to 865 W, setting a historic record in power and efficiency for large-scale solar projects.

A study carried out at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, presents a new way to mitigate the rapid degradation of perovskite solar cells. The problem, which ...

Perovskite solar cells are one of the hottest topics in photovoltaics, because they are substantially more energy-efficient to produce than conventional silicon solar cells. Laboratory devices now ...

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 ...

Solar power is no longer inching forward, it is compounding. In laboratories and early commercial lines, scientists are ...

Scientists in Spain have developed an amorphous-silicon solar cell that could be used in both transparent photovoltaics and tandem applications. The device reportedly achieves notable efficiency ...

Despite their clear efficiency advantages, high-resistivity, lightly doped silicon wafers have seen limited adoption ...
