Discover how to build a simple solar cell at home using everyday materials! This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates how to repurpose an aluminum can, a CD, copper wire, toothpaste, lemon juice, and a ...

The TOPCon solar cells fabricated with screen-printed, fire-through copper rear contacts and silver front contacts, using laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) to significantly reduce contact ...

A new bifacial solar cell architecture developed by researchers at Soochow University, Zhejiang Jinko ...

A novel thin-film technology enables solar panels to generate electricity from both sunlight and raindrops.

A group of scientists from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has fabricated a solar cell based on an absorber made of copper indium sulfide (CuInS 2), a ...

Perovskites may sound like perogies or piroshkis, but no high-carb-cheese-and-potato-flavor-pocket can do what they do. They’re minerals that can do the same party trick as many of your favorite ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

Researchers in Sweden developed a bifacial chalcoprite solar cell using a titanium-doped indium oxide (ITiO) back contact, achieving 68% bifaciality. The device is able to maintain strong front-side ...
