Laboratory testing has revealed that some negatively-doped, “n-type” tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterojunction (HJT) solar modules are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV) light-related ...

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 ...

The Australian scientists designed the cell with a sodium sulfide additive to achieve uniform sulfur and selenium distribution, improving charge transport. This controlled elemental layering reduces ...

Illustration of all-organic solar cells and power conversion efficiencies of AOSCs described in the present study and previous reports. As global efforts to combat climate change continue, demand for ...

Perovskite cells are much cheaper and more flexible than their silicon alternatives, but they have major durability problems. A new breakthrough could be about to change that. When you purchase ...

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 ...

Solar energy has long been considered to have great potential and solar panels based on silicon have been on the market for over 30 years. But first-generation silicon solar panels are at the end of ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...
