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

The lab-scale, near-white heterojunction solar cell uses nanoclay-based scattering layers combined with dielectric multilayer films to preserve power conversion efficiency while enhancing visual ...

China has quietly pulled off a feat that solar engineers have chased for years, pushing a new cell design to record efficiency by hiding its most important features beneath the surface. Instead of ...

Scheme showing part of a singlet fission-sensitized silicon solar cell. Absorption of a high-energy photon by the tetracene layer produces a singlet exciton. This singlet exciton undergoes singlet ...

A research team from the School of Engineering (SENG) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has introduced comprehensive bio-inspired multiscale design strategies to address ...

A team of University of Sydney researchers, led by the John Hooke Chair of Nanoscience Professor Anita Ho-Baillie, is now trying to push the energy conversion efficiency for a perovskite-silicon ...

Sheet resistance, measured in ohms per square (Ω/ ), is a parameter that quantifies the resistance of thin conductive layers. In solar cells, it primarily influences the performance of the front ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed a new type of back-contact solar cell design that will enable scalable, low-cost manufacturing as it ...

A reflection-based solar cell design inspired by periscopes achieves near-complete visible transparency and record light utilization efficiency, outperforming all previous transparent photovoltaic ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...
