Rethinking solar panel geometry beyond the traditional rectangle can unlock significant energy potential by optimizing coverage on complex, irregular rooflines.

China has quietly pulled off a feat that solar engineers have chased for years, pushing a new cell design to record efficiency by hiding its most important features beneath the surface. Instead of ...

TU Delft researchers have investigated for the first time the effect rear irradiance has on the optimal bandgap energy and thickness of the perovskite cell in a bifacial two-terminal ...

Scheme showing part of a singlet fission-sensitized silicon solar cell. Absorption of a high-energy photon by the tetracene layer produces a singlet exciton. This singlet exciton undergoes singlet ...

A research team from the School of Engineering (SENG) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has introduced comprehensive bio-inspired multiscale design strategies to address ...

The global photovoltaic (PV) industry is entering a phase defined less by headline capacity additions and more by incremental but compounding improvements in efficiency, reliability, and ...

A team of University of Sydney researchers, led by the John Hooke Chair of Nanoscience Professor Anita Ho-Baillie, is now trying to push the energy conversion efficiency for a perovskite-silicon ...

Sheet resistance, measured in ohms per square (Ω/ ), is a parameter that quantifies the resistance of thin conductive layers. In solar cells, it primarily influences the performance of the front ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed a new type of back-contact solar cell design that will enable scalable, low-cost manufacturing as it ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...
