A group of scientists from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences designed a prototype of a solar photovoltaic tree that purportedly offers an optimal balance between energy ...

Researchers at Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) have fabricated lightweight, curved crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar modules with a front cover made of ...

“We see a decoupling between what modules are expected to survive based on previous industry knowledge, and what they’re actually able to survive in testing,” says Colin Sillerud. Image: CFV Labs.

Solar panels and snow are often framed as natural enemies, but the physics of how panels generate electricity tells a more ...

Aesolar and Fraunhofer CSP’s segmented shade-resistant module technology aims to drastically reduce energy loss caused by partial shading. Image: Fraunhofer CSP. Shading has traditionally encumbered ...

Solar panels struggle under cloud cover or when it rains. Can you imagine a solar module that converts rain into electricty?

THORNTON, Colo., Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascent Solar Technologies (“Ascent”), the leading U.S. innovator in the design and manufacturing of featherweight, flexible thin-film photovoltaic ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

Solar panels have been installed on homes since the 1970s, but many homeowners are still reluctant to embrace the technology.
