With the initial efficiency of 25.56%, the solar cell retained 85% of its efficiency despite operating for upto 1,000 hours ...

Solar cells made of moon dust could power future space exploration ... Dr. Lang's team found that making moonglass was ...

The Korea Institute of Energy Research has successfully developed ultra-lightweight flexible perovskite/CIGS tandem solar ...

The Korea Institute of Energy Research (President Yi Chang-keun, hereinafter referred to as “KIER”) has successfully ...

Many are familiar with so-called photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, found on things like spacecraft, rooftops, and handheld calculators. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those ...

Scientists made solar cell panels from Moon dust to power future lunar cities more easily, safely, and cheaply.

Namely, cost! Manufacturing a solar cell with multiple types of semiconductor junctions is far more expensive then simply churning out simple silicon-based panels. Popular semiconductor materials ...

Swedish thin-film solar cell company Midsummer has been awarded €2.8 million to research tandem perovskite cell technology.

Currently, perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells have achieved efficiencies as high as 34.6 percent. However, their heavy ...

Their solar cells reached a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26.3%, a result that rivals commercial silicon cells. This record-setting performance was officially recognized by the U.S. National ...
