One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

Solar panels have become more efficient over the years, but even the best designs still lose a large fraction of the energy ...

CAS-led researchers developed a peak-selective passivation strategy using aluminum oxide nanocoating to solve leakage issues in pyramid-textured silicon for perovskite–silicon tandem cells. The method ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics.

A team of scientists in China has developed a targeted passivation technique that significantly ...

The result was certified by TÜV Rheinland and represents the highest efficiency ever recorded for a single-junction silicon solar cells.

Solar cells that combine traditional silicon with cutting-edge perovskites could push the efficiency of solar panels to new heights. Beyond Silicon, Caelux, First Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, Oxford PV, ...

Flexible solar panels are lightweight, portable and useful for curved surfaces, but they are not right for every setup. Here’s how they compare with standard panels ...
