Solar energy is no longer just a clean alternative; it’s becoming a cornerstone of the global energy system. In 2026, high efficiency solar panels are leading this transformation, delivering more ...

A new Perspectives research study on the future of the global PV supply chain outlines how module prices, performance, and lifetimes could evolve over the next 25 years. The work reflects a ...

Solar power has long been constrained by a supposedly unbreakable ceiling on how much sunlight a panel can turn into electricity. That barrier is now cracking as a new class of solar materials pushes ...

Researchers in Spain are working on the nano scale to identify better heat-catching surfaces for concentrated solar power stations — and nanoneedles are proving more efficient for the task than ...

Solar panel efficiency is set to improve significantly as JinkoSolar matches Maxeon with a new set of solar panels that can reach almost 25% efficiency. Despite advancements in efficiency, even the ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

An international research team has fabricated a 1 cm2 perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell that utilizes a top cell based on a perovskite absorber integrating inorganic copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN). ...

An international team has identified a strategy to improve both the performance and stability for solar cells made out of the 'miracle material' perovskite by mitigating a previously hidden ...

Single-crystalline TiO2 nanorods excel at harvesting light and conducting charge, making them ideal for solar cells, photocatalysts, and sensors. However, traditional fabrication methods link rod ...
