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 ...

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 ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

Researchers at the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in Pohang, South Korea, have taken an innovative approach to commercializing perovskite solar cells. Perovskite cells are ...

It has also completed a demonstration power station. Scientists make powerful breakthrough that could revolutionize solar panels: 'Streamlining the process' first appeared on The Cool Down.

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 ...

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 ...

Despite their clear efficiency advantages, high-resistivity, lightly doped silicon wafers have seen limited adoption ...
