It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands ...

KAUST developed a cooling technology that improves the longevity and power output of a solar cell. Image: KAUST. As solar projects spread across the world, it is no longer uncommon to see a project ...

RENA Technologies will supply its equipment to a planned 1.2GW TOPCon solar cell production facility in India.

For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

This  editorial continues our highlights of the highest independently confirmed yearly efficiencies of mainstream solar cell ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Tiny crystal “seeds” could solve a hidden flaw in perovskite solar cells—unlocking high efficiency at larger scales.

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a multi-source co-evaporation recipe ...

While they may appear to be insignificant, raindrops’ impact on surfaces can create measurable electrical signals when ...

Crystalline silicon solar cells currently dominate the global photovoltaic industry, with tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) technology—a type of architecture within this product ...

A team from the University of Stuttgart, together with international researchers, has succeeded in enhancing both the efficiency and environmental resilience of perovskite solar cells. This is another ...

Monocrystalline, polycrystalline or thin-film? Here’s how the main types of solar panel compare on efficiency, lifespan, and the roof space you’ll need.
