To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it 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 tiny change at the solar cell surface could unlock much higher efficiency, stronger stability, and more reliable ...

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

In the global race to develop new materials for clean and cost-effective energy solutions, a crystalline structure has shown promise as a semiconductor; industry experts believe that this ...

Solar energy is a crucial part of our clean energy future, but a new, highly efficient solar material has a hurdle that needs to be addressed. A recent study reveals how a microscopic weak spot can ...

It’s an idea so genius in its simplicity that it seems implausible, but the first energy-producing window is very real and its potential is through the roof. The photovoltaics industry has never been ...
