A new innovation from the University of Turku saw a team of researchers use red onion skin to develop an ultra-thin ...

Researchers working with copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) solar cells reported a 20.4 percent efficiency result on flexible polymer films, a level that underscores how far high-performance thin ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Qcells announced in a press release today that the company has resumed solar panel assembly at its facility in Cartersville, ...

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.

You may have noticed grid lines on the surface of solar panels. Turns out these lines serve an essential purpose that goes beyond just decoration.

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

Tiny crystal “seeds” could solve a hidden flaw in perovskite solar cells—unlocking high efficiency at larger scales.

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 ...

Silfab was able to restart panel and cell assembly at the plant at 8 p.m. local time Monday. After a visit by the EPA and SCDES, the ...

For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

Monocrystalline, polycrystalline or thin-film? Here’s how the main types of solar panel compare on efficiency, lifespan, and the roof space you’ll need.
