A study from the University of Michigan found that carbon-based solar cells, referred to as organic solar cells, may outperform conventional silicon solar cells and gallium-arsenide solar cells in ...
Researchers have developed a PFAS-free dual-layer sol-gel and hydrophobic silica coating that repels water, dust, and dirt while maintaining high light transmission for solar panels. The transparent, ...
NASA researchers have developed reinforced perovskite-based solar cells targeting roughly 26% efficiency, engineered ...

A University of Sydney-led team has achieved a global efficiency record for a large triple-junction perovskite solar cell, converting sunlight into electricity at rates that place perovskite ...
A transparent, water-repellent coating developed by researchers in Scotland, China and India could make solar panels ...
You may have noticed grid lines on the surface of solar panels. Turns out these lines serve an essential purpose that goes ...
Photo of ultrathin on-chip solar cells. The cells are the green squares and include an ultrathin layer of light-absorbing GaAs, which is key to their radiation tolerance. The surface of each green ...
Soiling-related losses are among the most serious threats to PV performance, according to Tomas Cebecauer and Vicente Lara-Fanego.
