Solar power has a dark side: panels are still built to be thrown away, and we risk creating a mountain of waste that locks ...

The assumption may be that solar panels won't be as effective in the winter due to the decrease in sunlight and the snow that lands atop them. Also, let's be honest, most technology isn't known for ...

A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like ...

Large-scale production of organic solar cells with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. In the study, the researchers studied molecule shape and interaction in organic solar cells.

A team of researchers has developed ultra-thin solar cells that break new records for efficiency—all while using environmentally friendly materials. This advancement could pave the way for exciting ...

Perovskite solar cells have garnered widespread attention as a low-cost, high-efficiency alternative to conventional silicon ...

Do solar panels work in winter and on cloudy days? - Solar panels keep generating electricity throughout winter – but how ...

A new generation of 3D-printed solar cells could let buildings generate power through colorful, semi-transparent windows ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

Snow has always been a probelm for solar panels. This one excels in the snow as it was deisgned to thrive when it's cold, ...
