One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics.

Higher-efficiency solar cells can generate more electricity from the same amount of sunlight.

Sofab Inks, a US-based manufacturer of functionalized metal oxide materials, announced its novel tin oxide (SnO2) electron transport layer (ETL) material was used in a 22.2%-efficient mini perovskite ...

Solar cells that combine traditional silicon with cutting-edge perovskites could push the efficiency of solar panels to new heights. Beyond Silicon, Caelux, First Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, Oxford PV, ...

NUS researchers have developed a vapor-deposition method that dramatically improves the long-term and high-temperature stability of perovskite-silicon (Si) tandem solar cells. The findings were ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say they have developed a technology ...

Researchers from the University of Arkansas in the United States have fabricated a graphene-based solar cell that can be used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The device was developed in the ...

Assistant Professor Hou Yi and his research team from the National University of Singapore created a novel vapour-deposition method that can be used to commercially produce perovskite-silicon tandem ...

The intended goal of this project is to create a solar module to power a battery recharger, specifically for hearing aid devices. Our goal is to design, fabricate and test a small solar cell array ...
