Renewable sources, including solar, wind, and hydro, now produce roughly a quarter of America's electricity, and when combined with wind, make up 98% of new energy capacity in the US. But how do solar ...

The race to build the world’s most efficient solar cell is no longer a theoretical contest inside physics labs, it is a ...

Solar energy is an important form of green energy. It is now being made more flexible. Imagine a solar cell that can be ...

Solar panels and snow are often framed as natural enemies, but the physics of how panels generate electricity tells a more ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

Solar power is already cheap and effective, and it’s taking on a larger role in supplying energy needs all over the world. The thing about humanity, though, is that we always want more! Too much, you ...

Perovskite solar cells are widely regarded as the next generation photovoltaic technology. However, they are not yet stable ...

Perovskites may sound like perogies or piroshkis, but no high-carb-cheese-and-potato-flavor-pocket can do what they do. They’re minerals that can do the same party trick as many of your favorite ...

UNSW researchers have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on PERC and TOPCon solar cell performance and have identified bulk lifetime degradation as main power loss cause. Their work ...

Winter might seem like the worst season for getting energy from solar panels, due to less sunlight and more snow, but as it ...
