The race to build the world’s most efficient solar cell is no longer a theoretical contest inside physics labs, it is a high‑stakes engineering sprint that will shape how quickly the global energy ...

Using a new method, physicists found a way to 'catapult' electrons across solar materials in quadrillionths of a second.

In space, satellites face brutal temperature shifts from hot sunlight to freezing shadows. For ...

The previous solar efficiency record has now been broken, and this one could have ...

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...

A team of researchers led by the UK’s University of Cambridge has developed an adhesive-free method of bonding ultra-thin gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells to borosilicate glass. The technique, ...

Canadian researchers proposed a laminate-free solar module using polycarbonate instead of EVA and glass. The new encapsulation technique reportedly enables easy disassembly, reuse of solar cells, and ...

The Aydin Group at LMU Munich has unveiled a novel strategy for making perovskite solar cells more robust against extreme temperature fluctuations. To this end, the researchers led by Dr. Erkan Aydin, ...

Flexible solar panels UK: What you need to know about cost and how they work - Flexible solar panels are thinner, lighter and more versatile than standard ones, making them ideal for curved roofs, cam ...

Thinking of going solar? When you’re installing panels from scratch on an existing roof or building, one of the first decisions you’ll face is whether to go for roof solar PV panels or traditional ...
