For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

An ionic elixir is being developed to extend promising perovskite solar cell lifespans. It's part of research — detailed in ...

Solar panels can help cut your energy bills – here’s how they generate power, what happens to the electricity you don’t use, ...

While they may appear to be insignificant, raindrops’ impact on surfaces can create measurable electrical signals when ...

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

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 ...

One major theme stood out for me as I toured ELITE Solar’s newest facility: Establishing solar manufacturing operations in America is expensive and a slog. ELITE Solar invested around $115 million ...

Tiny crystal “seeds” could solve a hidden flaw in perovskite solar cells—unlocking high efficiency at larger scales.

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 ...

First Solar has filed a Sec. 337 investigation request with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) on a swath of crystalline silicon panel ...
