However, researchers at Northwestern University have now discovered a more resilient replacement to the ammonium-based ...

Commercial solar technology today centres around silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells on rooftops ... developed eco-material — a plant-based replacement for conventional fossil fuel-derived plastics ...

Although the efficiency of their graphene-on-silicon solar cell is currently quite low, the researchers envisage that it can be improved by optimizing the conductivity and transparency of the ...

One green energy source in the focus of researchers globally is solar cells. As a complement to traditional silicon solar cells, several different alternative variants are being developed.

For a long time, the solar panel market was dominated by China because of that country's control of the silicon supply chain. But the solar-panel tides may be turning, as Japan has created a solar ...

The German wafer manufacturer said the result was achieved with an unspecified M6 HJT commercial production line, without ...

Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) announced today it achieved a power conversion efficiency of 31.6% for a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell. The result ...

Image: QCells Korean-owned solar manufacturer Hanwha Qcells has posted a “world record” efficiency reading for an industrial-sized perovskite-silicon tandem cell. The 28.6% efficiency rating ...

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 ...

Oxford PV is a leader in the development of perovskite-on-silicon solar cells, which have a theoretical maximum efficiency of over 43pc, compared to less than 30pc for silicon solar cells.
