One of the most interesting updates in the solar energy space comes from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via EES Solar), where researchers have developed 3D-printed, semi-transparent, flexible ...

Higher-efficiency solar cells can generate more electricity from the same amount of sunlight.

A vacuum-based process could make solar cells faster and cheaper to produce while delivering efficiency on surfaces used in ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses ...

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 ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

The ultra-thin TOPCon solar cell uses dual-sided polysilicon passivated contacts formed by low-pressure chemical vapor ...

Scientists in Singapore have developed ultrathin solar cells that could one day turn car ...

Researchers in Sweden developed a bifacial chalcoprite solar cell using a titanium-doped indium oxide (ITiO) back contact, achieving 68% bifaciality. The device is able to maintain strong front-side ...

A promising solar-cell architecture, in which two layers of perovskite semiconductors are stacked on silicon, is making strides towards achieving its full potential. Read the paper: Triple-1 junction ...
