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 ...

A set of peer-reviewed studies and federally funded research projects have shown that solar cells can double as curved mirrors, generating electricity and high-temperature heat from a single piece of ...

Musket balls that have been buried in soil for hundreds of years can be converted into a key ingredient for next-generation ...

A new UNSW study shows that laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) can boost industrial TOPCon solar cell efficiency by ...

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 ...

The development of copper bismuth sulfide (Cu3BiS3) thin films represents a promising avenue for next‐generation solar cell absorbers. Owing to their high optical absorption, appropriate direct band ...

DMEGC Solar, a global Tier 1 manufacturer of solar modules, recently announced the evolution of its Greenhouse range, now available with the G12RT cell. This technological transition marks a new ...
