In general, solar cells can be classified into two types, crystalline silicon solar cells and amorphous silicon solar cells on float glass. Both types have certain benefits in specific applications as ...

Scientists from Australia and the United Kingdom have developed a novel method for constructing localized rear contacts on p-type silicon absorbers. The proposed process utilizes aluminum (Al) doped ...

Highly efficient silicon solar cells that are as flexible as a sheet of paper could offer a lightweight power source for applications such as uncrewed aerial vehicles while cutting the cost of solar ...

It’s 3:00 a.m., and you are blissfully deep in slumber. Suddenly, a sharp, short beep rudely wakes you. The low-battery warning of a carbon monoxide alarm going off in the middle of the night is ...

Qcells has set a world record for the efficiency of a large-area silicon solar cell with a top layer of perovskite. This discovery could dramatically shrink the size of projects and slash costs for ...

“Collectively, these advancements offer ground-breaking insights into mitigating energy loss in perovskite solar cells,” said assistant professor Hou Yi (right). Image: NUS Researchers from the ...

SPIE, the International Society for Optics and Photonics, has published research on an ultraviolet-wavelength-driven solar spectral converter that can be placed on top of photovoltaic cells to boost ...
