An international team of researchers has successfully controlled the flow of energy in a molecule with the help of its pH ...

Solar power has long been a beacon of hope in our pursuit of clean energy. However, the road to sustainable, high-efficiency ...

The race for high-efficiency, low-cost solar is heating up, as scientists discovered a potential way to improve one of the ...

A study carried out at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, presents a new way to ...

As the price of solar panels continues to fall, more and more places find it economical to build solar farms that might not have been able to at higher prices. High latitude locations, places with ...

Quantum-dot-based solar cells promise to deliver efficiencies approaching those of crystalline solar cells but with the manufacturing simplicity of organics. Crystalline materials such as silicon ...

In a study published in the journal Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, the research team showed that by tweaking the ...

“As a general rule of thumb: if the top cell fully transmits photons below its bandgap and the solar spectrum is evenly split between the top and bottom cells, then the top cell needs to reach ...

Boviet Solar, for example, just opened a module facility in North Carolina with plans to add cell production next year. ES Foundry is already producing cells in its new plant in South Carolina.

The basic technology behind Ambient Photonics’s solar cells is so simple that it’s routinely assembled as a high school science experiment. In labs across the US, students sandwich ...
