A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

Perovskites are semiconducting materials that have rapidly transformed the field of optoelectronics, demonstrating ...

Research at RIT on perovskite solar cells led to a successful mission where a cell was flown on a SpaceX rocket with no ...

In a previous article, I wrote that if you were to start a solar business, the Nordic region would not be the obvious choice, and yet the challenges of doing so have created a thriving sector. But ...

Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries worldwide. Over the ...

A new bifacial solar cell architecture developed by researchers at Soochow University, Zhejiang Jinko ...

In space, satellites face brutal temperature shifts from hot sunlight to freezing shadows. For ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

The Aydin Group at LMU Munich has unveiled a novel strategy for making perovskite solar cells more robust against extreme ...

Ubiquitous Energy and Michigan State University researchers have created a fully transparent solar concentrator, which could turn any window or sheet of glass (like your smartphone's screen) into a ...
