Solar energy plays a big role in the fight against climate change. As the world turns to solar power, concerns about the environmental impact of traditional solar panels continue to grow. Today’s most ...

Qcells has set a world record for the efficiency of a large-area silicon solar cell with a top layer of perovskite. This discovery could dramatically shrink the size of projects and slash costs for ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering (SPREE) have filed patent protection and are working to scale production of a new class ...

Imagine two homes on the same street, with the same-sized roofs, both fitted with solar panels. Yet one home consistently generates more electricity than the other. The difference comes down to solar ...

Perovskite solar cells offer much higher efficiency than silicon. Cambridge researchers have developed a far more stable perovskite structure, stacking ultra-thin layers at atomic precision to improve ...

The record was achieved on a 9cm2 solar cell. Image: CEA/Cherpin. Italian solar manufacturer 3Sun and French research firm CEA (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique in French) have achieved a 30.8% solar ...

A solar panel installation in your home can bring all sorts of benefits: lower electric bills, a smaller carbon footprint and even raising the value of your home. But what if your house is surrounded ...

Chinese PV perovskite specialist Renshine Solar has achieved 27.5% power conversion efficiency for a flexible all-perovskite solar cell. The company said the result is a world record for this cell ...
