Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...

A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.

A new UNSW study shows that laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) can boost industrial TOPCon solar cell efficiency by ...

The TOPCon solar cells fabricated with screen-printed, fire-through copper rear contacts and silver front contacts, using laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) to significantly reduce contact ...

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

For most of the solar industry’s modern history, progress has been framed as a story of physics. Higher efficiencies came ...

Lead recycled from centuries-old ammunition provides raw materials for perovskite solar cells. Perovskite solar cells ...

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have reduced silver consumption in solar cell metallization to 1.1 mg/Wp using an electrodeposition-based process, down from ...

A new process uses a porous substrate to absorb stray photons and recapture their energy. This approach may allow for the manufacture of cells that can be made from smaller quantities of semiconductor ...

A novel experiment transforms centuries-old ammunition into high-efficiency solar materials, hinting at a circular future for ...

As countries around the world strive to reduce their carbon footprints and seek sustainable energy resources, the solar energy industry has experienced significant growth. Among the diverse process ...
