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 ...

As solar booms, end-of-life panel recycling is crucial. Learn why recovery of aluminum, glass, and silicon is key to truly ...

In addition to using solar panels to turn solar energy into electricity, the system also uses liquid-filled pipes to store ...

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 ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the ...

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 ...

Perovskite solar cells, often called PeSCs, are changing the way energy is captured—especially indoors. Unlike the rigid and heavy silicon panels fixed to rooftops, these thin and flexible materials ...

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 ...

KIER achieves world’s highest efficiency of 23.64% with flexible perovskite/CIGS thin-film tandem solar cell The Korea Institute of Energy Research (President Yi Chang-keun, hereinafter referred to as ...

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

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have reduced silver consumption in solar cell metallization to 1.1 mg/Wp using an electrodeposition-based process, down from ...
