Simple Solar Tech Beyond Power Grids Unlike solar panels (PVs) that send electricity into the main power grid and are taxed and regulated, other solar technologies like solar water heating, space ...

A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like ...

A new generation of 3D-printed solar cells could let buildings generate power through colorful, semi-transparent windows ...

Perovskite solar cells have garnered widespread attention as a low-cost, high-efficiency alternative to conventional silicon ...

Do solar panels work in winter and on cloudy days? - Solar panels keep generating electricity throughout winter – but how ...

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 ...

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 ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

Ubiquitous Energy and Michigan State University researchers have created a fully transparent solar concentrator, which could turn any window or sheet of glass (like your smartphone's screen) into a ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...
