Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the ...

Musket balls that have been buried in soil for hundreds of years can be converted into a key ingredient for next-generation ...

A collaboration between a team led by RASEI Fellow Mike McGehee at the University of Colorado Boulder and scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), just published in the ...

Laboratory testing has revealed that some negatively-doped, “n-type” tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterojunction (HJT) solar modules are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV) light-related ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet ...

According to Qcells, notice letters recipients are infringing on its laser-enhanced contact optimisation (LECO) technology. Image: QCells. Korean-owned solar manufacturer Hanwha Qcells has issued ...

The study, published in Materials Future, demonstrates how thermal stress in both darkness and under light can significantly impact the durability of these solar cells. Perovskite materials, ...

With silver prices nearing $50 per ounce, researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) tell pv magazine that efforts ...

To compete with established photovoltaic technologies, PSCs must demonstrate long operational lifetimes, spanning 20-25 years under real-world conditions to match the lifetimes of silicon PV. However, ...

A single chemical additive applied during perovskite film deposition helped lift a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell to a certified stabilized efficiency of 32.76%, according to a peer-reviewed ...
