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

Silicon solar cells were supposed to be running out of headroom, yet a new device has pushed their performance to 27.81% ...

In recent years, perovskite has emerged as a promising solution for cheaper, more efficient solar energy. This advanced ...

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 made from silicon already adorn rooftops and vast fields around the world—but they are reaching their ...

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 ...

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

Using the mask-and-plate copper metallization technique, scientists at the German research center fabricated a 1.21 cm² perovskite–silicon tandem solar cell featuring a heterojunction bottom device.

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 ...
