The conventional solar cells that you see on rooftops capture sunlight from only one side, but have you heard about bifacial solar cells? These innovative cells can generate electricity from ...

Germany’s Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin has confirmed that Longi’s new n-type heterojunction solar cell has achieved a power conversion efficiency of 26.5%. “Through consistent ...

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it ... Now the cell is ready for the sun. As sunlight hits the cell, its photons begin "knocking loose" electrons in both silicon layers.

A research team from Shanghai-based East China University of Science and Technology has made a significant breakthrough in ...

When sunlight hits the cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms. As the electrons flow through the cell, they generate electricity. On a much larger scale, solar-thermal power plants ...

Tarbiat Modares University (TMU) researchers in Iran have developed a perovskite solar cell using a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) hole transport layer (HTL). This SWCNT, a twisted graphene ...

A team of researchers has made an advancement in the field of multifunctional energy harvesting. Their latest study advances ...

Panasonic HIT® 330 is one of the most efficient solar panels in the world, and offers more power generation per square meter than conventional solar panels. It uses a unique heterojunction cell ...
