Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...

Solar cells, devices that convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries. While most existing solar ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet ...

A new UNSW study shows that laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) can boost industrial TOPCon solar cell efficiency by ...

A new process uses a porous substrate to absorb stray photons and recapture their energy. This approach may allow for the manufacture of cells that can be made from smaller quantities of semiconductor ...

Fraunhofer ISE-led researchers demonstrated zinc-doped tin oxide (ZTO) as an indium-free alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO ...

The additive introduced into the solution for preparing the photoactive layer enhances Marangoni flow, thereby offsetting capillary flow caused by changes in the substrate’s surface energy due to ...

For most of the solar industry’s modern history, progress has been framed as a story of physics. Higher efficiencies came ...

A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has demonstrated how a classic technique can be repurposed to measure the ...

Musket balls that have been buried in soil for hundreds of years can be converted into a key ingredient for next-generation ...

As countries around the world strive to reduce their carbon footprints and seek sustainable energy resources, the solar energy industry has experienced significant growth. Among the diverse process ...
