New research has uncovered a critical challenge in solar energy with the discovery that a considerable number of solar panels ...

To compete with established photovoltaic technologies, PSCs must demonstrate long operational lifetimes, spanning 20-25 years under real-world conditions to match the lifetimes of silicon PV. However, ...

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 ...

Perovskite solar cells are one of the hottest topics in photovoltaics, because they are substantially more energy-efficient to produce than conventional silicon solar cells. Laboratory devices now ...

Solar energy is fast becoming one of the most important sources of electricity generation in the US, with 7% of Americans using it to power their homes. However, while solar power affords a viable and ...

The need to achieve clean energy multiple times with the same solar cell infrastructure has led to a significant method that recycles all parts of solar cells repeatedly without environmentally ...

Researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Yonsei University have fabricated a high-efficiency and high-stability organic-inorganic hybrid solar cell. The ...

A study from the University of Michigan found that carbon-based solar cells, referred to as organic solar cells, may outperform conventional silicon solar cells and gallium-arsenide solar cells in ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the economics of AI. On paper, the global solar industry has never looked stronger. The International Energy Agency ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...
