Renewable sources, including solar, wind, and hydro, now produce roughly a quarter of America's electricity, and when combined with wind, make up 98% of new energy capacity in the US. But how do solar ...

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

The race to build the world’s most efficient solar cell is no longer a theoretical contest inside physics labs, it is a ...

Northwestern University researchers have raised the standards again for perovskite solar cells with a new development that helped the emerging technology hit new records for efficiency. The findings, ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

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 ...

UNSW researchers have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on PERC and TOPCon solar cell performance and have identified bulk lifetime degradation as main power loss cause. Their work ...

A joint research team has successfully identified, for the first time, the specific types of defects responsible for ...

Schott introduced Solar Glass exos, a new cover glass developed with AZUR Space for next-generation satellite solar cells with ESA and DLR support ...

Perovskite solar cells are widely regarded as the next generation photovoltaic technology. However, they are not yet stable ...
