"Lowering balance-of-system costs." Scientists make breakthrough discovery that could revolutionize solar panels: 'This opens the door' first appeared on The Cool Down.

In the race to make solar energy cheaper and more efficient, a team of UNSW Sydney scientists and engineers have found a way ...

We asked the experts at Metrotile, one of the UK's leading solar roof tile companies, to shed some more light on solar roof ...

Netherlands-based research lab TNO has succeeded in applying copper electrodes to silicon heterojunction solar cells using a new screen-printing process. With this innovation, TNO says, almost the ...

China’s Hebei University and module manufacturer DAS Solar have jointly developed a silicon solar cell featuring a novel hole transport layer (HTL) designed to simplify production and reduce costs. In ...

Imagine a medical scan that gives doctors razor-sharp images of your heart or brain in just minutes, while exposing you to less radiation and costing hospitals far less money. That vision may soon ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, scientists proposed using guanidinium thiocyanate (GASCN) to enhance both the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar ...

Solar panels, like most things in life, die. Usually, the very thing they harvest energy from is what kills them. Solar panels work by using sunlight to knock electrons off atoms in solar cells in a ...
