A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades.

Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...

Graphene-based silicon solar cells comprise a promising class of photovoltaic devices that integrate the exceptional electrical and optical properties of graphene with the mature, cost-effective ...

Hydrogen can be either beneficial to silicon solar technologies, passivating bulk and surface defects, or detrimental, contributing to light- and elevated-temperature-induced degradation (LeTID) and ...

A team led by the Australian National University has investigated antimony (Sb)-doped Czochralski-grown silicon as an alternative n-type substrate for solar PV applications in a study that included ...

Commercial silicon-based solar cells have made significant improvements in efficiency over the past decade, increasing from around 15% efficiency in 2015 to just shy of 25% in 2025. Subscribe to our ...

The maximum absorption wavelength of silicon solar cells (SSCs) is approximately 1100 nm, due to the inherent bandgap limitations of silicon materials. This constraint results in significant optical ...

A new solar panel reaches up to 865 W, setting a historic record in power and efficiency for large-scale solar projects.

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 ...
