One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

Solar panels might all look the same to the untrained eye, but they actually come in different types and technologies. Understanding these differences is one of the first things you should know before ...

The research group led by Professor Martin Green has published Version 68 of the solar cell efficiency tables. There are 21 new results reported in the new version.

Reaching a perfect balance between the amount of greenhouse gases released in the atmosphere and those that are removed, is ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

A German research team conducted a techno-economic analysis of POLO back-junction (BJ) solar cells in Germany, finding that they can offer significant cost and efficiency advantages over PERC ...

Researchers in Iran have used digital elevation models to improve the accuracy of solar energy potential maps. Their model is intended to identify the best areas for solar panel deployment in urban ...

While solar energy can cut electricity costs, building constraints and regulatory limits mean it may not work for every ...
