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 ...

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 ...

Solar panels are an increasingly efficient, cost-effective, and higher-power-density renewable-energy source, though most ...

Researchers from Canada have developed solar cells that boast a record-breaking open circuit voltage. The solar cell design features indium gallium phosphide (InGaP), indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), ...

Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only ...

Researchers have developed a new type of back-contact solar cell design that will enable scalable, low-cost manufacturing as it uses a perovskite material and tiny grooves embossed into plastic film.

Perovskite solar cells offer high efficiency & low cost, but complex structures limit modeling. A new Python simulator ...

Professor Yoke Khin Yap and his research group are improving the efficiency of solar cells one quantum dot at a time. × To sustainably power our digital future, the world needs more — and more ...

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 ...

Chinese PV module manufacturer Longi announced it achieved a power conversion efficiency of 33.35% for a 1 cm2 flexible perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell. The result was certified by the US ...
