The global market share of photovoltaic (PV) modules equipped with these cells is more than 95 per cent. They offer high efficiency and are relatively cheap. However, there is still much to be gained ...

We believe that the most promising approach to reaching this goal is to make tandem solar cells with a high band gap solar cell harvesting the high-energy photons and a lower bandgap solar cell ...

Taiwan’s first organic solar cell research and testing laboratory was formally inaugurated at National Central University March 6. “Energy and environmental protection are two major issues in our ...

The researchers built the cell with a hole transport layer (HTL) based on PEDOT:PSS and were reportedly able to reduce the ...

Perovskite solar cells are one of the hottest topics in photovoltaics, because they are substantially more energy-efficient to produce than conventional silicon solar cells. Laboratory devices now ...

The 9cm 2 cell was developed at CEA’s laboratories ... this time from the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), highlighted solar module efficiency and nameplate production capacity ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

"Collectively, these advancements offer groundbreaking insights into mitigating energy loss in perovskite solar cells," project lead, Assistant Professor Hou Yi, said in a lab report. Perovskites ...

The US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and First Solar have used cracked film lithography (CFL) to build a bifacial cadmium telluride solar cell with a power density of 20.3 mW cm−2.

This development in solar cell research could profoundly impact ... collaboration with teams from the National Renewable ...

Increasing cell efficiency can help reduce the size needed for solar installations as well as cutting costs. Professor Martin Green at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, whose lab held ...
