A research team led by scientists at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and partners has pushed a monolithic ...

Longi claims to have achieved the world’s highest efficiency for a silicon solar cell. The result was confirmed by Germany’s ...

Researchers have significantly improved the performance of kesterite (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells. They developed a new method for doping silver (Ag) in solar cells to suppress defects that hinder ...

In 1839, German mineralogist Gustav Rose picked up a strange, lustrous crystal in Russia’s Ural Mountains and named it after ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

The latest Trinasolar module has an output of 808W. Image: Trina Solar. Leading Chinese module manufacturer Trinasolar has developed an 808W solar module that uses perovskite/silicon tandem solar ...

Researchers from Fraunhofer’s ‘MaNiTU’ project produced a perovskite silicon tandem solar cell with a conversion efficiency of 31.6% on an area of 1cm². Image: Fraunhofer ISE. In a joint project ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

Solar energy has long been considered to have great potential and solar panels based on silicon have been on the market for over 30 years. But first-generation silicon solar panels are at the end of ...

High-concentration Li doping leads to the thickening of the fine grain layer and the formation of large voids at the back interface of the thin film. The introduction of Ag eliminates the fine grain ...
