Photovoltaic (PV) solutions, which are designed to convert sunlight into electrical energy, are becoming increasingly ...

So, what's all this about perovskite solar cells? Do we really need another kind of solar to decide on? Despite sounding like ...

A global research team has developed a tandem solar cell with 30% transparency by combining perovskite and organic layers, ...

A research team has developed a technology that can significantly increase the efficiency of eco-friendly solar cells. The ...

Mission Solar Energy, one of the longest running solar panel manufacturers in the United States, will soon also be making ...

Researchers investigated how to use bio-based materials to produce effective UV protection films for solar cells. The study was the first to compare how the properties of different bio-based UV ...

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells like the one illustrated above. Such cells, which can power everything from calculators to cars (our ...

Perovskite solar cells could last ten times longer thanks to new research, which suggests alumina nanoparticles significantly enhance the lifespan and stability of these high-efficiency energy ...

Solar cells are devices for converting sunlight into electricity. Their primary element is often a semiconductor which absorbs light to produce carriers of electrical charge. An applied electric ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

Miyasaka (71) was straining his brains over ‘dye-sensitised solar cells’, a popular area of research in 2009. It occurred to him, rather serendipitously, to try out a new class of materials ...
