CAS-led researchers developed a peak-selective passivation strategy using aluminum oxide nanocoating to solve leakage issues in pyramid-textured silicon for perovskite–silicon tandem cells. The method ...

A new process uses a porous substrate to absorb stray photons and recapture their energy. This approach may allow for the manufacture of cells that can be made from smaller quantities of semiconductor ...

Solar panels have become more efficient over the years, but even the best designs still lose a large fraction of the energy ...

Solar power is one of the world’s most important clean energy sources, and scientists are constantly searching for ways to ...

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

A vacuum-based process could make solar cells faster and cheaper to produce while delivering efficiency on surfaces used in ...

For industrial production, the perovskite layer must be applied to tandem solar cells over a large area and uniformly.

NTU researchers have developed ultra-thin transparent solar cells that could turn windows, car glass, and wearables into ...

As countries around the world strive to reduce their carbon footprints and seek sustainable energy resources, the solar energy industry has experienced significant growth. Among the diverse process ...

According to the report’s authors, LECO is now used in the production of around one-quarter of TOPCon cells. Image: Trina Solar. A new study has found that the laser-enhanced contact optimisation ...
