The race to build the world’s most efficient solar cell is no longer a theoretical contest inside physics labs, it is a ...

Organic solar cells are made from conductive polymers, which makes them cheap, light, and flexible. However, one drawback is ...

A joint research team has successfully identified, for the first time, the specific types of defects responsible for ...

Researchers have fabricated a new four-terminal organic solar cell with a tandem configuration with a 16.94% power conversion efficiency (PCE). The new device is composed by a highly transparent front ...

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 ...

The Japanese technology company is offering three types of space-grade compound solar cell designs for satellites and spacecraft.

Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has shared results from its five-year lighthouse project MaNiTU. The project, involving six Fraunhofer institutes, worked to identify the ...

Laser-assisted firing is a major breakthrough in solar cell technology because it can solve one of the key issues causing poor reliability in tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cells, ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...
