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 ...

Canada’s UBC creates bacteria‑powered solar cells that generate strong current and work even in dim, cloudy light—an affordable leap for photovoltaics.

Scientists have developed a new protective coating that significantly extends the life of perovskite solar cells, making them more practical for applications outside the lab. Northwestern University ...

UNSW engineers have made a major step forward in the development of a new type of solar cell that could help make future ...

A team of researchers led by the UK’s University of Cambridge has developed an adhesive-free method of bonding ultra-thin gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells to borosilicate glass. The technique, ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

The mineral perovskite is cheaper and more efficient at absorbing light than silicon solar cells, but it has a bit of durability problem when exposed to heat and moisture. Scientists at the University ...
