A new fabrication technique for substantially enhancing the prospects of commercialising perovskite solar cells through improved stability, reliability, efficiency and affordability is underway at ...

Flexible solar cells have many potential applications in aerospace and flexible electronics, but low energy conversion efficiency has limited their practical use. A new manufacturing method has ...

What if we could get clean electricity more cheaply and protect the environment at the same time? A team of researchers in ...

Next-generation solar materials are cheaper and more sustainable to produce than traditional silicon solar cells, but hurdles remain in making the devices durable enough to withstand real-world ...

Perovskite silicon tandem solar cell technology is a mouthful, but it’s basically perovskite crystals layered on top of silicon cells. The combination captures energy from the sun more efficiently ...

When it comes to supplying energy for space exploration and settlements, commonly available solar cells made of silicon or gallium arsenide are still too heavy to be feasibly transported by rocket. To ...

By modifying structure rather than materials, researchers have developed a much more efficient solar thermoelectric generator ...

A research team in Iran has designed a four-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells with a 19.3%-efficient bottom heterojunction cell and a 12.7%-efficient perovskite top cell. Both subcells ...

Origami Solar has announced partnerships with three US steel fabricators who will domestically produce steel solar module frames in Ohio and Texas. The company expects to ship steel frames to ...

Researchers have revealed that a type of salt can improve the efficiency of perovskite solar cells. Called guanidinium thiocyanate, the salt boosts perovskite solar cells’ power conversion efficiency ...
