Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...

A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

Perovskites are semiconducting materials that have rapidly transformed the field of optoelectronics, demonstrating ...

A single chemical additive applied during perovskite film deposition helped lift a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell to a ...

A new bifacial solar cell architecture developed by researchers at Soochow University, Zhejiang Jinko ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

A research team from China's Yangzhou University has investigated how four rear treatment techniques can improve passivation performance, contact, and electrical performance in TOPCon solar cells and ...

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 ...

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 have a way of sounding futuristic, until you realise they’re essentially doing something very old-fashioned: turning daylight into usable power. For homeowners, the appeal is simple. A ...
