Researchers showed that modified consumer camera hardware can measure useful solar-cell performance data, potentially lowering the cost of testing that normally depends on far more expensive ...

Switching to modern silicon solar cells could cut the cost of powering satellites by as much as 90% based on ...

The prototype solar cells on their first ocean outing. (Ma et al., Joule, 2026) Under the ocean, things aren't quite so bright. Much of the Sun's rays bounce right off the ocean's surface, and the ...

Ten meters (32 ft.) beneath the South China Sea, sunlight has already lost much of what makes it useful on land. Red and ...

Solar modules treated with lead carboxylate passed the standard test of photovoltaic reliability and had a high yield.

Italian solar PV equipment manufacturer Ecoprogetti announced that its Ecosun Nova EL testing platform has been installed in the perovskite solar cell and module pilot line of French research ...

Scientists have taken solar cells to new depths, demonstrating that they can function 10 meters (33 feet) below the surface ...

In a world dealing with environmental issues and energy shortages, the promise of clean, renewable energy from solar power is driving development of solar-cell technologies. This growth in the solar ...

The tunnel oxide layer inside today's dominant solar cell is just 1 nanometer thick. Here's how that invisible film now enables a perovskite tandem cell to crack 34% efficiency.

A research team in Iran has designed a four-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells with a 19.3%-efficient bottom heterojunction cell and a 12.7%-efficient perovskite top cell. Both subcells ...

Rocket Lab says the new cell cuts weight by 40%, delivers 31.5% efficiency, and removes the need for germanium.
