Solar power is already the cheapest way to generate large amounts of clean electricity, yet conventional panels still waste a significant share of the sunlight that hits them. A new class of quantum ...

Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only ...

A new model shows how transport resistance limits solar cell efficiency and how better fill factor predictions could help us develop more powerful photovoltaics One light bulb turned on (Courtesy: ...

An innovative hybrid solar device that combines a PV panel and energy storage has achieved record levels of energy storage efficiency for such a device. And unlike conventional batteries, the ...

The research group led by Professor Martin Green has not published yet Version 67 of the solar cell efficiency tables, due to production delays. Green, however, has accepted to comment on some of the ...

The tandem device is based on a bottom organic cell that can achieve a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 17.9% and a high short-circuit current density of 28.60 mA cm2. Furthermore, it uses a ...
