Traditional solar panels usually use rigid silicon wafers anywhere from 120 to 200 micrometers thick. Researchers develop ...

The South Korean startup is developing organic solar cell technology made using a proprietary roll-to-roll process. It ...

Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only ...

The introduction of a nanometric germanium oxide layer drastically improved device performance and stability. As the global demand for clean energy accelerates, solar power continues to attract ...

Nonetheless, silver demand from the solar sector is expected to fall as more producers shy away from the metal’s costs. BNEF ...

A team at Fraunhofer ISE has created new imaging methods to measure losses in individual sub-cells of multi-junction solar cells based on perovskite-silicon and perovskite-perovskite-silicon ...

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, ...

Researchers investigated different compositions of tin sulfides to find the ideal material for devices that harness solar energy. Solar cells convert sunlight into clean energy -- but if the solar ...

ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...

Solar panels are an increasingly efficient, cost-effective, and higher-power-density renewable-energy source, though most ...
