Every solar panel company makes bold claims about its panel efficiency, maximum wattage availability, temperature coefficient and other specs in optimal conditions. Anyone who does product testing ...

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 ...

An international team led by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has used ionic salt for the electron transport layer of a perovskite solar cell to improve device stability and ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

Researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia and Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) in Germany have fabricated ...

Qcells has set a world record for the efficiency of a large-area silicon solar cell with a top layer of perovskite. This discovery could dramatically shrink the size of projects and slash costs for ...

Hailstorms are increasing in frequency and severity in South Africa, presenting a greater risk of damaging solar panels.

We tested 20 solar generators to find the most versatile devices that can provide emergency backup power and fuel off-grid ...
