Chinese solar module maker JinkoSolar has set a new world record for n-type TOPCon solar cell efficiency, reaching 27.79%. The achievement was independently verified by Germany’s Institute for Solar ...

Scientists have developed a new type of perovskite solar cell (PSC) that can withstand high-temperature encapsulation processes. The PSC demonstrates remarkable resilience even in high heat conditions ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

UNSW researchers boosted TOPCon solar cell efficiency by locally thinning the rear poly-Si layer, reducing parasitic absorption while preserving wafer integrity. The champion cell built with this ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

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 ...

An international team has identified a strategy to improve both the performance and stability for solar cells made out of the 'miracle material' perovskite by mitigating a previously hidden ...

Illustration of all-organic solar cells and power conversion efficiencies of AOSCs described in the present study and previous reports. As global efforts to combat climate change continue, demand for ...

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 ...
