Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

A Swedish government agency is investing SEK 130 million ($13.8 million) in the next-generation indoor solar cell technology belonging to Exeger. The company’s Powerfoyle solar cells are an evolution ...

China has quietly pulled off a feat that solar engineers have chased for years, pushing a new cell design to record efficiency by hiding its most important features beneath the surface. Instead of ...

Chinese researchers have devised a new avenue for improving the functionality of tandem perovskite/silicon solar cells. The method allows for power conversion efficiencies of up to 31%, marking one of ...

Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...

Researchers in China have unveiled a new way to significantly improve the efficiency and ...

The result: a solar cell efficiency of 11.02% recorded during laboratory testing, with an independently certified result of ...

The world’s largest reinsurer has recently introduced stricter requirements for PV warranty insurance to further de-risk insured PV parks and set a higher benchmark for industry wide reliability and ...

Perovskite solar cells operated for months in low Earth orbit and tolerated radiation equivalent to decades in space, marking the most comprehensive orbital test of the technology.

Sydney research team led by Professor Anita Ho-Baillie (centre) in the laboratories of the Sydney Nanoscience Hub, University of Sydney. A University of Sydney-led team has set a record for solar ...

One of the most interesting updates in the solar energy space comes from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via EES Solar), where researchers have developed 3D-printed, semi-transparent, flexible ...
