Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) could conquer the mass market within a few years, perhaps even being produced in Europe. Their ...

Although the efficiency of organic solar cells has now risen to more than 20%, there are physical limits that make it ...

Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption. The materials physics shows that this is possible, the same semiconductor ...

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the efficiency of these devices. Read the paper: All-perovskite tandem solar cells ...

Partial shading is a common condition in the outdoor deployment of photovoltaic modules, potentially causing significant power loss and severe thermal damage. Limitations of existing solutions in ...

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 ...

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops? Skyscraper walls? Vast open spaces that dense urban centers barely have in ...

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 ...

Does adding a new home solar panel system makes sense in northern climates? This Canadian homeowner did just that – and after a cold, dark, and dreary winter collecting data, they’re sharing their ...

Toyo Solar has raised around US$50 million to finance the expansion of the company’s cell manufacturing work in Houston, ...
