Solar panels have become more efficient over the years, but even the best designs still lose a large fraction of the energy ...

Researchers at Kyushu University and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have reported a quantum yield of roughly 130% in a solution-phase experiment that uses singlet fission to generate more than ...

Flexible solar panels are lightweight, portable and useful for curved surfaces, but they are not right for every setup. Here’s how they compare with standard panels ...

NTU researchers have developed ultra-thin transparent solar cells that could turn windows, car glass, and wearables into clean power sources without changing how they look.The Latest Tech News, Delive ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say they have developed a technology ...

Solar panels can seem like a mysterious or complex piece of technology, but the basic idea is surprisingly simple: they capture energy from daylight and convert it into electricity your home can use.

Researchers in Switzerland have fabricated a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells that utilizes a heterojunction cell as bottom device. The cell is said to circumvent the film formation issue ...

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have taken a crucial step toward increasing the lifespan of photovoltaic solar panels and potentially lowering solar-energy costs for manufacturers and ...

Future lunar bases could be powered by solar cells made on-site from melted moon dust. Building items on the moon, using materials that are already there, would be more practical than shipping them ...
