There are really only two possible endpoints for human energy production, and they're both fusion. Either we find a way to create tiny, controlled fusion reactions here on Earth (fusion power) or we ...

Learn how solar panels generate electricity with this step-by-step guide explaining photovoltaic cells, energy conversion, ...

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

Silicon heterojunction solar cells combine crystalline silicon substrates with thin amorphous silicon layers to harness the advantages of both materials. This approach yields superior passivation, ...

Researchers from KAUST, TU Delft, and LMU Munich have improved the performance of monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells by modifying the physical structure at the front of the bottom ...

The ASTM G173 Standard Spectral Distribution of Sunlight represents a standard, reference solar spectrum that is used for solar photovoltaics testing and calibration purposes. It was defined in the ...

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 ...

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 ...
