At a recent solar energy trade show, the first thing anyone would note is that solar cells are cheaper than ever before. Perhaps second, is that solar vendors had all sorts of solar panels. There were ...

These cells could be laminated onto various kinds of surfaces, such as the sails of a boat to provide power while at sea. Scientists develop mega-thin solar cells that could be shockingly easy to ...

PV is breaking new ground with a video series that reveals the entire process of making perovskite solar cells, from bare substrate to finished, tested modules. For the first time, viewers can see ...

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 ...

Perovskite solar cells are one of the hottest topics in photovoltaics, because they are substantially more energy-efficient to produce than conventional silicon solar cells. Laboratory devices now ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...
