Researchers have come up with a new way to make perovskite films for solar cells. The technique is especially well suited to making ultra-thin films that are semi-transparent, which could be useful ...

Canadian researchers proposed a laminate-free solar module using polycarbonate instead of EVA and glass. The new encapsulation technique reportedly enables easy disassembly, reuse of solar cells, and ...

A transparent, water-repellent coating developed by researchers in Scotland, China and India could make solar panels ...

At a recent solar energy trade show, the first thing anyone would note is that solar cells are cheaper than ever before. Perhaps second, is that solar vendors had all sorts of solar panels. There were ...

Perovskite solar cells, often called PeSCs, are changing the way energy is captured—especially indoors. Unlike the rigid and heavy silicon panels fixed to rooftops, these thin and flexible materials ...

A study carried out at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, presents a new way to mitigate the rapid degradation of perovskite solar cells. The problem, which ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Solar energy has made major strides in recent years. Panel prices ...

It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands for new developments and do not always find common ground. Scientists at ...

According to the report’s authors, LECO is now used in the production of around one-quarter of TOPCon cells. Image: Trina Solar. A new study has found that the laser-enhanced contact optimisation ...

For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...
