Centuries ago, alchemists worked furiously to convert the common metal lead to valuable gold. Today, chemists are repurposing ...

Mumbai: In a major breakthrough for India’s solar energy sector, a startup from IIT Bombay called Advanced Renewable Tandem-Photovoltaics India (ART-PV India) has developed a new type of solar cell.

Copper indium sulfide (CuInS2) are still far from reaching commercial maturity but new titanium dioxide nanorod arrays can ...

The company’s N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell has set a new record with an impressive conversion efficiency of 33.84%.

Trinasolar has achieved a conversion efficiency of 26.58% for a bifacial industrial tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cell.

LONGi has developed a crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 33.9%, the highest on record.

Trying to decide between 60- and 72-cell solar panels? Learn the differences, the pros and cons, and whether they matter with ConsumerAffairs.

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) has been applied in photovoltaic devices to improve their photoelectric conversion efficiency. In this study, the mechanism of LSPR in dye-sensitized solar ...

Silicon solar cells are an established technology for the generation of electricity from the sun. But they take a lot of energy to produce, are rigid and can be fragile. However, a new class of ...

A new solar cell packs a record voltage and (arguably) a record efficiency for its kind. The tandem solar cell uses two layers of perovskite that tap into different wavelengths of light, plus a ...

A team with Professor Ted Sargent introduced a new cell with extremely high efficiency and record-setting voltage that bypasses the need for silicon, which is energetically costly to produce and ...
