A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

Researchers have come up with a new way to make perovskite films for solar cells. The technique is especially well suited to making ultra-thin films that are semi-transparent, which could be useful ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

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 ...

At a recent solar energy trade show, the first thing anyone would note is that solar cells are cheaper than ever before. Perhaps second, is that solar vendors had all sorts of solar panels. There were ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Solar energy has made major strides in recent years. Panel prices ...

ISTA physicists explain the exceptional energy-harvesting efficiency of perovskites. Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed ...

All solar panels degrade over time, but expert installation and regular maintenance can prevent an early sunset on their lifespan ...

According to the report’s authors, LECO is now used in the production of around one-quarter of TOPCon cells. Image: Trina Solar. A new study has found that the laser-enhanced contact optimisation ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

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