Solar power is one of the great success stories in the fight against climate change. The first proper solar panel was invented back in 1881, but in the last 15 years the technology has really taken ...

To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...

UNSW researchers developed an experimentally validated model linking UV-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells to hydrogen transport, charge trapping, and permanent structural changes in the ...

A number of kitchen-cupboard ingredients have found unlikely employment in making solar panels more efficient. Solar cell scientist Jon Major explains why. From fizzy drinks to moreish crisps, many ...

Solar cells work more efficiently when they are cooled, but sitting the the sun all day, it is not always easy to achieve this. Researchers at Stanford University in the US have come up with a ...

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 ...

How the Sun's energy gets to us How solar cells and solar panels work What energy solar cells and panels use What the advantage and disadvantages of solar energy are This resource is suitable for ...

A research team from University College London (UCL), in collaboration with Chinese and Swiss scientists, has developed a perovskite-based solar cell for indoor use that is up to six times more ...

Sego Innovations launched the world’s first origami solar cell design, which opens new possibilities for solar energy usage. This new technology lets people create solar power from anywhere using its ...
