A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like windows and flexible surfaces. Using a 3D-printed pillar structure, the ...

New semi-transparent solar cells use 3D-printed pillars to adjust color and light transmission without changing the solar ...

Traditional solar panels usually use rigid silicon wafers anywhere from 120 to 200 micrometers thick. Researchers develop ...

Nonetheless, silver demand from the solar sector is expected to fall as more producers shy away from the metal’s costs. BNEF ...

Chinese perovskite cell maker MicroQuanta Semiconductor has supplied its solar modules for what it claims to be the world's largest building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) project based on perovskite ...

Why do tin sulfide solar cells, a promising and eco-friendly material, struggle to reach their full theoretical potential? This question has long concerned scientists, while these devices ...

Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin films have emerged as a promising class of absorber materials for thin film solar cells due to their earth‐abundant, non‐toxic constituents and favourable optical and electronic ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have fabricated an inverted low-bandgap perovskite solar cell for applications in four-terminal (4T) perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells.

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...
