NTU researchers have developed ultra-thin transparent solar cells that could turn windows, car glass, and wearables into ...

Researchers in Japan have achieved a 12.28% efficiency in a copper gallium selenide solar cell, the highest reported for indium-free wide-bandgap chalcogenide absorbers in the 1.65–1.75 eV range. The ...

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 ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say they have developed a technology ...

Solar panel efficiency affects how much electricity your system can generate from the roof space available – here’s what that means and why it matters ...

A research group led by Jiangsu Ocean University in China has demonstrated a single-step surface texturing process that can reportedly boost absolute silicon solar cell efficiency of a tunnelling ...

Flexible solar panels are lightweight, portable and useful for curved surfaces, but they are not right for every setup. Here’s how they compare with standard panels ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Perovskite solar cells offer much higher efficiency than silicon. Cambridge researchers have developed a far more stable perovskite structure, stacking ultra-thin layers at atomic precision to improve ...

A team of scientists from Korea University, the University of Toledo, and Seoul National ...
