A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

A new bifacial solar cell architecture developed by researchers at Soochow University, Zhejiang Jinko ...

For most of the solar industry’s modern history, progress has been framed as a story of physics. Higher efficiencies came ...

A novel thin-film technology enables solar panels to generate electricity from both sunlight and raindrops.

Solar panels have a way of sounding futuristic, until you realise they’re essentially doing something very old-fashioned: turning daylight into usable power. For homeowners, the appeal is simple. A ...

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 ...

A single chemical additive applied during perovskite film deposition helped lift a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell to a ...

Japanese researchers developed a molybdenum-based spin-flip emitter that efficiently harvests triplet excitons from ...
