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

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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

DAS Solar and Hebei University have identified two types of pinholes in TOPCon solar cells: harmful recombinational pinholes, ...

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 ...

Scientists at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science & Technology (AIST) have set ...

Monocrystalline, polycrystalline or thin-film? Here’s how the main types of solar panel compare on efficiency, lifespan, and the roof space you’ll need.

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 ...
