Solar energy has long been considered to have great potential and solar panels based on silicon have been on the market for over 30 years. But first-generation silicon solar panels are at the end of ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

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, ...

Researchers have significantly improved the performance of kesterite (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells. They developed a new method for doping silver (Ag) in solar cells to suppress defects that hinder ...

Thin-film solar cells comprising CdTe, Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 have become a less-expensive photovoltaic technology than crystalline Si wafer solar cells. Still, their efficiencies are inferior to those of ...

A research group is experimenting with solar cells made with alternative materials, which could help the world meet its energy needs Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena shows a finished solar chip made with ...
