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 ...

How do solar panels actually work for producing electricity in your home? - Solar panels can help cut your energy bills – ...

In a previous article, I wrote that if you were to start a solar business, the Nordic region would not be the obvious choice, and yet the challenges of doing so have created a thriving sector. But ...

Traditional solar cells harvest only a narrow sliver of the electromagnetic energy pouring down onto Earth, and that's one of the reasons it's been so challenging to get solar efficiency beyond 20-30 ...

Rethinking solar panel geometry beyond the traditional rectangle can unlock significant energy potential by optimizing coverage on complex, irregular rooflines.

Ubiquitous Energy and Michigan State University researchers have created a fully transparent solar concentrator, which could turn any window or sheet of glass (like your smartphone's screen) into 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 ...

Solar energy technology has taken another major step forward as researchers develop a new way to make perovskite solar cells more efficient and stable. A team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy ...
