Engineers at UNSW Sydney have developed a way to monitor solar cells at a microscopic level while they are operating to discover exactly how damage caused by ultraviolet light can be naturally ...

Tiny crystal “seeds” could solve a hidden flaw in perovskite solar cells—unlocking high efficiency at larger scales.

Solar energy is a crucial part of our clean energy future, but a new, highly efficient solar material has a hurdle that needs to be addressed. A recent study reveals how a microscopic weak spot can ...

Researchers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found a new way to stick different layers of tandem solar cells and achieved ...

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 ...

The world’s largest reinsurer has recently introduced stricter requirements for PV warranty insurance to further de-risk insured PV parks and set a higher benchmark for industry wide reliability and ...

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the efficiency of these devices. Read the paper: All-perovskite tandem solar cells ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...
