Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...
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 ...
In addition to using solar panels to turn solar energy into electricity, the system also uses liquid-filled pipes to store ...
The breakthrough overcomes the long-standing limit of conventional solar cells to achieve an energy conversion efficiency of ...
A novel thin-film technology enables solar panels to generate electricity from both sunlight and raindrops.
For most of the solar industry’s modern history, progress has been framed as a story of physics. Higher efficiencies came ...
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have boosted the power conversion efficiency of ...
An international study found that the specific power of commercial silicon solar modules increased from 8.5 W/kg in the early ...
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.
Lead recycled from centuries-old ammunition provides raw materials for perovskite solar cells. Perovskite solar cells ...
Approach by EPFL and CSEM combines two thin-film perovskite cells and one silicon cell.
