A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like ...

New semi-transparent solar cells use 3D-printed pillars to adjust color and light transmission without changing the solar ...

Traditional solar panels usually use rigid silicon wafers anywhere from 120 to 200 micrometers thick. Researchers develop ...

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

Chinese perovskite cell maker MicroQuanta Semiconductor has supplied its solar modules for what it claims to be the world's largest building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) project based on perovskite ...

Nonetheless, silver demand from the solar sector is expected to fall as more producers shy away from the metal’s costs. BNEF ...

Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin films have emerged as a promising class of absorber materials for thin film solar cells due to their earth‐abundant, non‐toxic constituents and favourable optical and electronic ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...

As countries around the world strive to reduce their carbon footprints and seek sustainable energy resources, the solar energy industry has experienced significant growth. Among the diverse process ...

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