Organic solar cells are made from conductive polymers, which makes them cheap, light, and flexible. However, one drawback is ...

A Chinese company’s flexible perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell has achieved a power conversion efficiency of 33.35%. Longi ...

Solar cells that combine traditional silicon with cutting-edge perovskites could push the efficiency of solar panels to new heights. Beyond Silicon, Caelux, First Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, Oxford PV, ...

A research team in Spain has built what it claims to be the world's most efficient perovskite solar cell using MXenes or any other type of 2D-materials. The device relies on a Mxene interlayer that ...

A new study reports the discovery of an entirely new stable, earth-abundant, high-performance material for solar absorbers -- the central part of a solar cell that turns light into electricity. While ...

An international group of researchers has designed a tandem perovskite-perovskite solar cell that integrates a hole transport layer (HTL) made of kesterite (CZTSe). “Copper-based materials offer ...

Canadian solar panel maker Heliene and India’s solar cell maker Premier Energies are joining forces to build a US solar cell factory. This is great news for the US, as there is currently a shortage of ...
