Though the sun produces more energy than we would ever need on Earth, current ...

Solar cells face significant challenges when deployed in outer space, where extremes in the environment decrease the efficiency and longevity they enjoy back on Earth. University of Toledo physicists ...

Scientists in China have developed a new method to boost efficiency and strength of ...

Optical transparency was achieved via 3D-printed micro-patterned pillar structures and a solvent-free monomer. Color tunability was controlled by the thickness of the top transparent electrode, ...

Solar power is already a cleaner energy source than traditional dirty fuels, but a team of researchers from Tohoku University has made a breakthrough that could make solar even cleaner, according to ...

In general, solar PV deposited on glass is significantly more efficient than thin film, but this is the price you pay for off-world deployments. Paul Warley, CEO of Colorado-based Ascent Solar, told ...

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

Researchers from KAUST, TU Delft, and LMU Munich have improved the performance of monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells by modifying the physical structure at the front of the bottom ...

Half cell solar panels, which divide conventional full-sized cells into two electrically independent halves, have moved from ...

Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin films have emerged as a promising class of absorber materials for thin film solar cells due to their earth‐abundant, non‐toxic constituents and favourable optical and electronic ...

First Solar revealed that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has denied three separate inter partes review ...
