The assumption may be that solar panels won't be as effective in the winter due to the decrease in sunlight and the snow that lands atop them. Also, let's be honest, most technology isn't known for ...

A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like ...

Large-scale production of organic solar cells with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. In the study, the researchers studied molecule shape and interaction in organic solar cells.

Researchers from KAUST, TU Delft, and LMU Munich have improved the performance of monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells by modifying the physical structure at the front of the bottom ...

UNSW engineers have made a major step forward in the development of a new type of solar cell that could help make future ...

Do solar panels work in winter and on cloudy days? - Solar panels keep generating electricity throughout winter – but how ...

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 ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

Molecularly engineered ultrathin films enhance efficiency and stability in perovskite solar cells by aligning energy levels precisely, offering an alternative to conventional electron transport layers ...

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 ...

Solar panel battery storage: what are solar batteries and how do they work at home? - Solar batteries let you store excess ...

Solar energy is a crucial part of our clean energy future, but a new, highly efficient solar material has a hurdle that needs to be addressed. A recent study reveals how a microscopic weak spot can ...
