Silicon solar cells were supposed to be running out of headroom, yet a new device has pushed their performance to 27.81% efficiency and reset expectations for what a single-junction cell can do. That ...

Solar power is one of the world’s most important clean energy sources, and scientists are constantly searching for ways to ...

Researchers at the University of South New Wales (USNW) in Australia have investigated the physical origin of ultraviolet-induced degradation (UVID) in PERC and TOPCon solar cell technologies and have ...

A research team led by scientists at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and partners has pushed a monolithic ...

An international research group has published breakthrough findings demonstrating how the ionic compound caesium bromide (CsBr) can significantly improve the efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) ...

Researchers improved organic solar cell fabrication by controlling molecular assembly, enhancing efficiency and stability, bringing the technology closer to commercial viability. OSCs are a compelling ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

Just last month, a European group posted a record of 30.8%. Image: Fraunhofer ISE. Chinese solar manufacturer Risen Energy has produced what it called a “record” conversation efficiency on a ...
