Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days and in cold weather, albeit less. Clouds cut output as less sunlight reaches the panels, but they continue producing power from indirect light.

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands ...

How do solar panels actually work for producing electricity in your home? - Solar panels can help cut your energy bills – ...

If you’re considering installing solar panels at home, you’ve likely come across solar batteries, which are large lithium-ion packs that store excess power for when the sun isn’t shining. Using the ...

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 ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a multi-source co-evaporation recipe ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

Rethinking solar panel geometry beyond the traditional rectangle can unlock significant energy potential by optimizing coverage on complex, irregular rooflines.

Even small solar devices that can power phone chargers and lights have made a difference in rural Malawi. Now, bigger and ...
