A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dianne Plummer is an Energy Consultant and Certified Energy Manager. In 2024, rooftop solar was the fastest-growing source of ...

Perovskite solar cells have garnered widespread attention as a low-cost, high-efficiency alternative to conventional silicon ...

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 ...

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 ...

Solar panels are an increasingly efficient, cost-effective, and higher-power-density renewable-energy source, though most ...

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 ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

KAUST developed a cooling technology that improves the longevity and power output of a solar cell. Image: KAUST. As solar projects spread across the world, it is no longer uncommon to see a project ...
