Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have achieved world-record power conversion efficiency ...

Researchers in China have developed a new type of polymer solar cells that deliver ...

Crystalline silicon solar cells currently dominate the global photovoltaic industry, with tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) technology—a type of architecture within this product ...

The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades.

For years, perovskites have been hailed as the "holy grail" of solar energy thanks to their promise of highly efficient and cheaper solar cells. Perovskites are a class of materials with similar ...

Scheme showing part of a singlet fission-sensitized silicon solar cell. Absorption of a high-energy photon by the tetracene layer produces a singlet exciton. This singlet exciton undergoes singlet ...

Qcells has set a world record for the efficiency of a large-area silicon solar cell with a top layer of perovskite. This discovery could dramatically shrink the size of projects and slash costs for ...

Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich has announced a world-record efficiency of 23.08% for a silver-free heterojunction (HJT) solar cell that is fully metallized with copper (Cu). The cell reportedly ...

A research group led by Jiangsu Ocean University in China has demonstrated a single-step surface texturing process that can reportedly boost absolute silicon solar cell efficiency of a tunnelling ...

Imagine two homes on the same street, with the same-sized roofs, both fitted with solar panels. Yet one home consistently generates more electricity than the other. The difference comes down to solar ...
