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 novel thin-film technology enables solar panels to generate electricity from both sunlight and raindrops.

The breakthrough overcomes the long-standing limit of conventional solar cells to achieve an energy conversion efficiency of ...

For most of the solar industry’s modern history, progress has been framed as a story of physics. Higher efficiencies came ...

Research appearing in Communications Materials has shown that perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are remarkably resilient to dust ...

Tesla is negotiating with Chinese suppliers including Suzhou Maxwell to buy $2.9 billion in solar manufacturing equipment for its 100 GW US production goal.

A UNSW-led team found that annealing conditions significantly affect stress, strain, and microstructure in copper-plated ...

Approach by EPFL and CSEM combines two thin-film perovskite cells and one silicon cell.

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

Lead recycled from centuries-old ammunition provides raw materials for perovskite solar cells. Perovskite solar cells ...
