Although the efficiency of organic solar cells has now risen to more than 20%, there are physical limits that make it ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered the hidden mechanism that limits the performance ...

A collaboration between a team led by RASEI Fellow Mike McGehee at the University of Colorado Boulder and scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), just published in the ...

This paper discusses a deep learning approach for detecting defects in photovoltaic (PV) modules using electroluminescence (EL) images. The method addresses key challenges in two practical areas: ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

According to Qcells, notice letters recipients are infringing on its laser-enhanced contact optimisation (LECO) technology. Image: QCells. Korean-owned solar manufacturer Hanwha Qcells has issued ...

It points to the possibility of "horizontal" recycling.

PEDOT:PSS is commonly used as a hole transport layer in perovskite solar cells because it combines high transparency, good ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the economics of AI. On paper, the global solar industry has never looked stronger. The International Energy Agency ...

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 ...
