The solar cells have already outperformed typical solar panels on earth, but it would require a long period of time to test the various configurations in a terrestrial setting. The solar cells, which ...

For several years now, solar panels have always followed somewhat of a blueprint. Flat solar panels that are rigidly structured and designed to face the sun is what everyone has come to know solar ...

While we’ve looked at the development of solar cell technologies that employ nanoscale 3D structures to trap light and increase the amount of solar energy absorbed, MIT researchers have now used 3D on ...

What would you think if someone told you that the future of renewable energy is on a photovoltaic sphere? With technologies constantly being improved, a company has managed to develop a perfect model ...

Revolutionary spherical solar cells are revolutionizing energy capture by means of their ability to absorb all direct, diffuse, and reflected solar radiation in every direction without requiring any ...

The idea of boosting the performance of solar cells by coating them with a textured substrate is commonly used in silicon-based cells. The idea is to traps more light so that it bounces around inside ...

Though mostly hidden from view, solar panels are gracing more and more rooftops in Brooklyn, fueled by tax incentives and new technology that makes installation easier on flat townhouse roofs. Michael ...

Millions of flat commercial roofs around the world are currently unable to support the weight of a conventional rooftop solar array, squandering significant clean energy potential. Beamreach Solar has ...
