Since 2009, the maximum efficiency of perovskite solar cells has risen from 3.9% to 30.1% —it took 37 years for crystalline silicon solar cells to achieve comparable efficiencies.

A team led by scientists from Kanazawa University in Japan haa developed an all-organic solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 8.7% The result more than doubles the power conversion ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce determined last week solar cell imports from four Southeast Asian countries should see tariffs of up to 3,521 percent. It’s a move that broadens the trade dispute ...

The same dirt that clings to astronauts’ boots may one day keep their lights on. In a study publishing April 3 in the Cell Press journal Device, researchers created solar cells made out of ...

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 ...

Tandem solar cells have huge potential. NREL, Author provided (no reuse) The cost of solar electricity The new record-breaking tandem cells can capture an additional 60% of solar energy. This ...

The new factory will produce an annual aggregate capacity of 1 GW N-Type cells to supply both Heliene’s and Premier’s US solar cell needs. Cells produced at the new site and incorporated into ...

That would mean this cell is more efficient than the best residential solar panel on the market. But if you're shopping for solar panels for your home, you probably shouldn't be concerned about it.

On April 8, NASA says, the total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing through Texas around 1:27 p.m. CDT and ending in Maine about 3:35 p.m. EDT. Anywhere along the eclipse path, the ...

A new record for electrical energy generation from CIGS solar cells has been reached. Scientists have achieved a 23.64 percent efficiency.

Conventional silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells, which supply more than 95% of the world’s solar electricity, contain brittle crystalline silicon wafers that are typically 150–200 μm thick.
