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

The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An international research team has conducted an extensive review of all back-contact (BC) solar cell types in an effort to accelerate their commercial development. The scientists grouped the cell ...

Commercial silicon-based solar cells have made significant improvements in efficiency over the past decade, increasing from around 15% efficiency in 2015 to just shy of 25% in 2025. Subscribe to our ...

Chinese solar module maker Huasun claims to have achieved a power conversion efficiency of 34.02% for a 1 cm² tandem solar cell based on a perovskite top cell and a silicon heterojunction (HJT) bottom ...

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, ...
