A team of researchers at the University of Kansas have studied a counterintuitive effect in organic semiconductors that may lead to solar cell efficiencies competitive with traditional silicon solar ...

A team of University of Sydney researchers, led by the John Hooke Chair of Nanoscience Professor Anita Ho-Baillie, is now trying to push the energy conversion efficiency for a perovskite-silicon ...

Qcells has set a world record for the efficiency of a large-area silicon solar cell with a top layer of perovskite. This discovery could dramatically shrink the size of projects and slash costs for ...

Solar panels that are more efficient generate more electricity. Some or all of the mortgage lenders featured on our site are advertising partners of NerdWallet, but this does not influence our ...

Solar energy is no longer just a clean alternative; it’s becoming a cornerstone of the global energy system. In 2026, high efficiency solar panels are leading this transformation, delivering more ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

An innovative hybrid solar device that combines a PV panel and energy storage has achieved record levels of energy storage efficiency for such a device. And unlike conventional batteries, the ...

Imagine two homes on the same street, with the same-sized roofs, both fitted with solar panels. Yet one home consistently generates more electricity than the other. The difference comes down to solar ...
