Transparent solar panels could fully decarbonise the building sector (MSU) Researchers have set a new efficiency world record ...

Perovskite solar cells are one of the hottest topics in photovoltaics, because they are substantially more energy-efficient to produce than conventional silicon solar cells. Laboratory devices now ...

One of the most promising solutions comes from the next generation of solar cells: perovskite photovoltaics. Perovskite solar cells offer an attractive alternative to traditional silicon panels.

The reasons are varied, but some factors are a lack of funding, and the improved efficiency of perovskite solar cells, which can also be flexible. “I want to say come back to this area and do ...

The project, involving six Fraunhofer institutes, worked to identify the most sustainable paths for the market launch of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. The researchers produced new ...

Many are familiar with so-called photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, found on things like spacecraft, rooftops, and handheld calculators. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those ...

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells like the one illustrated above. Such cells, which can power everything from calculators to cars (our ...

It's now one crucial step closer to manufacturing its lightweight, apply-anywhere film, with a new design for its perovskite solar cells that should make make production cheap and scalable.

Lenovo's concept Yoga Solar PC swaps out the laptop's usual top panel for edge-to-edge solar cells. The Lenovo Yoga Solar PC concept has a solar panel on its top Solar energy from the cells ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...
