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 ...

The previous solar efficiency record has now been broken, and this one could have ...

While most solar cells on the market today are based on silicon, energy engineers have recently been assessing the performance of alternative cells based on other photovoltaic (PV) materials. These ...

Researchers from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea announced a new process to make bifacial narrow band copper, indium, selenium (CuInSe₂) solar cells. A ...

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 ...

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 ...

A study from the University of Michigan found that carbon-based solar cells, referred to as organic solar cells, may outperform conventional silicon solar cells and gallium-arsenide solar cells in ...

Scientists have developed a new protective coating that significantly extends the life of perovskite solar cells, making them more practical for applications outside the lab. Northwestern University ...

In a previous article, I wrote that if you were to start a solar business, the Nordic region would not be the obvious choice, and yet the challenges of doing so have created a thriving sector. But ...

Yi Yang, the study's first author, tests a sample of the team's new solar cell in the lab at Northwestern University. Northwestern University scientists have developed a new protective coating that ...
