Solar power is no longer inching forward, it is compounding. In laboratories and early commercial lines, scientists are ...

How do solar panels actually work for producing electricity in your home? - Solar panels can help cut your energy bills – ...

These cells could be laminated onto various kinds of surfaces, such as the sails of a boat to provide power while at sea.

A salt called guanidinium thiocyanate can improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, a new class of semiconductor that could make solar power cheaper and more powerful, according ...

Rethinking solar panel geometry beyond the traditional rectangle can unlock significant energy potential by optimizing coverage on complex, irregular rooflines.

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 ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

A study carried out at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, presents a new way to mitigate the rapid degradation of perovskite solar cells. The problem, which ...
