Researchers have come up with a new way to make perovskite films for solar cells. The technique is especially well suited to making ultra-thin films that are semi-transparent, which could be useful ...

At a recent solar energy trade show, the first thing anyone would note is that solar cells are cheaper than ever before. Perhaps second, is that solar vendors had all sorts of solar panels. There were ...

In addition to using solar panels to turn solar energy into electricity, the system also uses liquid-filled pipes to store ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

Perovskite solar cells, often called PeSCs, are changing the way energy is captured—especially indoors. Unlike the rigid and heavy silicon panels fixed to rooftops, these thin and flexible materials ...

A study carried out at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, presents a new way to mitigate the rapid degradation of perovskite solar cells. The problem, which ...

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

Given the outstanding impact of , Frontiers in Energy Research is pleased to launch Volume II of this successful Research Topic. Emerging thin-film solar ...

KIER achieves world’s highest efficiency of 23.64% with flexible perovskite/CIGS thin-film tandem solar cell The Korea Institute of Energy Research (President Yi Chang-keun, hereinafter referred to as ...

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have reduced silver consumption in solar cell metallization to 1.1 mg/Wp using an electrodeposition-based process, down from ...

According to the report’s authors, LECO is now used in the production of around one-quarter of TOPCon cells. Image: Trina Solar. A new study has found that the laser-enhanced contact optimisation ...
