Solar energy plays a big role in the fight against climate change. As the world turns to solar power, concerns about the environmental impact of traditional solar panels continue to grow. Today’s most ...

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) in China have ...

Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only scratching the surface of what is physically possible. A wave of ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

Inverted perovskite solar cells offer strong potential for scalable, low-cost solar power, but a hidden interface inside the device has limited their performance and durability. Researchers have now ...

This new hybrid solar panel captures energy from sunlight and falling raindrops, helping it produce power even during storms.

Solar panels can help cut your energy bills – here’s how they generate power, what happens to the electricity you don’t use, ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have achieved world-record power conversion efficiency ...

For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands for new developments and do not always find common ground. Scientists at ...
