Hanwha Qcells will test commercial-scale tandem solar modules with a government-backed consortium as it targets ...

What if the next generation of solar panels could be more efficient, cheaper to produce, and made from more abundant ...

A team of researchers at Cornell University has uncovered a surprising problem in a promising class of materials known as ...

Researchers from Kanazawa University have developed a one-step recycling method that recovers toxic lead (Pb) and valuable ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

Researchers at IMDEA Nanoscience (Madrid) have developed a perovskite solar cell with a certified efficiency of 25.2%, very close to the world record of 26.7%. In addition, they managed to manufacture ...

Researchers developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one. The ...

Companies say perovskite tandem solar cells are only a few years from bringing record efficiencies to a solar project near you. In Swift Solar’s lab, more than a dozen pairs of elbow-length rubber ...

In 2022, the Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC) is closely monitoring a technology trend gaining market traction and acceptance: the rise of next-generation n-type PV cells with passivating contacts.

The team of researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the United States, have used theoretical and experimental methods to show how bismuth – the so-called “green element” which sits next to ...
