Parking lots and garage rooftops offer expansive, un-shaded and unobstructed spaces ideal for housing commercial-scale solar energy systems. For years, solar photovoltaics (PV) have proven to be a ...

The novel solar cell uses antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) as the back surface field (BSF) layer. According to its creators, this layer can be included in conventional CIGS solar cells to improve their ...

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are ...

Passive solar architecture is a design strategy that optimizes a building’s energy efficiency and long-term sustainability. By relying on a building site’s solar orientation and climate, sustainable ...

The ribbon solar sail will be a solar sail design using a thin film strip embedded with diffractive gratings. It is a NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) project. This configuration leverages ...

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

A research team from Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a donor-acceptor-donor molecule that can spontaneously self-assemble into nanoscale structures and offer a more stable route to ...

Flat roofs are traditionally sites for sprawling, low-built solar arrays meant to maximize energy output within the ...

The advent of offshore solar power systems heightens the need to secure greater efficiency and performance for this floating ...
