Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...

A new UNSW study shows that laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) can boost industrial TOPCon solar cell efficiency by ...

A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

Lead recycled from centuries-old ammunition provides raw materials for perovskite solar cells. Perovskite solar cells ...

The breakthrough overcomes the long-standing limit of conventional solar cells to achieve an energy conversion efficiency of ...

A set of peer-reviewed studies and federally funded research projects have shown that solar cells can double as curved mirrors, generating electricity and high-temperature heat from a single piece of ...

For most of the solar industry’s modern history, progress has been framed as a story of physics. Higher efficiencies came ...

Research appearing in Communications Materials has shown that perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are remarkably resilient to dust ...

A new process uses a porous substrate to absorb stray photons and recapture their energy. This approach may allow for the manufacture of cells that can be made from smaller quantities of semiconductor ...

As countries around the world strive to reduce their carbon footprints and seek sustainable energy resources, the solar energy industry has experienced significant growth. Among the diverse process ...
