Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...

A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

A team of researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB), led by physicist Steve Albrecht, says it has pushed solar cell ...

Our research focuses on developing innovative materials that can improve solar cell technology. We specialize in creating new materials that can capture and transport solar energy more efficiently, ...

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 ...

Solar panels have a way of sounding futuristic, until you realise they’re essentially doing something very old-fashioned: turning daylight into usable power. For homeowners, the appeal is simple. A ...

A research team based in China and the United States has developed electroactive polymer zwitterions to modify zinc oxide interlayers in organic solar cells. Their work was found to passivate defects ...

Research at RIT on perovskite solar cells led to a successful mission where a cell was flown on a SpaceX rocket with no ...

The plant will produce N-Type PV cells to meet growing demand for locally manufactured products. Image: Boviet Solar. Solar manufacturer Boviet Solar has completed exterior construction work on its ...
