A flexible perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell has reached a certified 29.88% power conversion efficiency, placing it among ...

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) in China have ...

Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only scratching the surface of what is physically possible. A wave of ...

Solar panels can help cut your energy bills – here’s how they generate power, what happens to the electricity you don’t use, ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

Imagine two homes on the same street, with the same-sized roofs, both fitted with solar panels. Yet one home consistently generates more electricity than the other. The difference comes down to solar ...

This new hybrid solar panel captures energy from sunlight and falling raindrops, helping it produce power even during storms.

A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic solar cells (OSCs), bringing the technology one step closer to commercial ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have achieved world-record power conversion efficiency ...

For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

The polymer solar cell is able to retain 97% of its performance after 2,000 hours in air. By blending small-molecule acceptors into polymeric matrices, the research team improved molecular packing, ...

It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands for new developments and do not always find common ground. Scientists at ...
