Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.

A new UNSW study shows that laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) can boost industrial TOPCon solar cell efficiency by ...

A new bifacial solar cell architecture developed by researchers at Soochow University, Zhejiang Jinko ...

The breakthrough overcomes the long-standing limit of conventional solar cells to achieve an energy conversion efficiency of ...

Solar energy plays a big role in the fight against climate change. As the world turns to solar power, concerns about the environmental impact of traditional solar panels continue to grow. Today’s most ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

Solar power plays a major role in efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and address climate change. The Sun delivers an immense amount of ...

A KAIST research team has solved the "solar cell dilemma," in which increasing efficiency shortens lifespan, while extending ...

A novel thin-film technology enables solar panels to generate electricity from both sunlight and raindrops.

Imagine two homes on the same street, with the same-sized roofs, both fitted with solar panels. Yet one home consistently generates more electricity than the other. The difference comes down to solar ...
