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 ...

If you’re considering installing solar panels at home, you’ve likely come across solar batteries, which are large lithium-ion packs that store excess power for when the sun isn’t shining. Using the ...

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.

A cluster of recent laboratory advances in ultra-thin solar cells suggests that lightweight, flexible photovoltaic devices may be able to move beyond niche prototypes if researchers can solve ...

Researchers in Australia have developed a new laser-based technique that allows them to observe in real time how ultraviolet (UV) radiation damages silicon solar cells and how they can naturally ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

Our research focuses on developing innovative materials that can improve solar cell technology. We specialize in creating new materials that can capture and transport solar energy more efficiently, ...

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 ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

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 ...

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 ...
