How Do Solar Cells Work?

There are really only two possible endpoints for human energy production, and they're both fusion. Either we find a way to create tiny, controlled fusion reactions here on Earth (fusion power) or we ...
Photovoltaic (PV) technologies, which convert light into electricity, are increasingly applied worldwide to generate renewable energy. Researchers have now developed a molecular treatment that ...
Researchers from KAUST, TU Delft, and LMU Munich have improved the performance of monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells by modifying the physical structure at the front of the bottom ...
The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.
Engineers have developed a way to monitor solar cells at a microscopic level while they are operating – to discover exactly how damage caused by ultraviolet light can be naturally repaired.
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 ...
Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on the performance of p-PERC, n-TOPCon and p-TOPCon solar cells and have ...
Why it matters: Scientists have been working on creating transparent solar cells for years, achieving various milestones that have brought the technology closer to commercial applications. Now, a team ...
