Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are ...

Silicon solar cells were supposed to be running out of headroom, yet a new device has pushed their performance to 27.81% efficiency and reset expectations for what a single-junction cell can do. That ...

Nanocrystalline silicon solar cells represent a pivotal advancement in thin film technologies, offering a pathway towards enhanced energy conversion efficiencies and reduced manufacturing costs. The ...

As the price of silicon panels has continued to come down, we’ve reached the point where they’re a small and shrinking cost of building a solar farm. That means that it might be worth spending more to ...

Multicrystalline silicon remains the cornerstone of photovoltaic device production, benefitting from a balance between performance and cost. The manufacturing process typically involves directional ...

An international research team has fabricated a 1 cm2 perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell that utilizes a top cell based on a perovskite absorber integrating inorganic copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN). ...

The 9 cm² cell consists of a top cell based on a perovskite absorber and a bottom cell with a heterojunction (HJT) structure. The results improve on the 28.4% efficiency CEA and Enel achieved for the ...

IT is commonly claimed, and also true, that enough sunlight falls on Earth in the course of an hour to meet a year’s worth of global power needs. Some of that sunlight is currently converted into ...
