NREL Researchers Calculate Boost From Reflected Light Hitting Back of Device A bifacial perovskite solar cell, which allows sunlight to reach both sides of the device, holds the potential to produce higher energy yields at lower overall costs, according to scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy … [continued]
The silicon wafer NexWafe says buh-bye kerf, hello low-cost, lightweight, flexible solar cells.
The Canadian startup XlynX aims to improve perovskite solar cells with a new advanced adhesive.
The long wait for low-cost, high-performance perovskite solar cells is coming to a close. Now the fun begins.
First Solar has been around for, well, what seems like forever. It was founded in 1999, well before the solar boom took off and solar power became big business. Back then, there were all kinds of claims about how little solar power could ever contribute to the electricity supply. It … [continued]
There are hundreds of solar power news stories a day. We can’t cover the vast majority of them. Below are a few top solar power stories that we didn’t quite cover but thought shouldn’t be missed. Enjoy. Largest solar PPA in South America The longest term and largest solar PPA … [continued]
See-through solar windows turn ordinary energy-sucking, carbon-spewing buildings into climate action heroes.
Biden-Harris Administration Announces $82 Million Investment to Increase Domestic Solar Manufacturing and Recycling, Strengthen the American Clean Energy Grid
Electric cars are moving into the mainstream and while it may feel daunting to switch over to an electric vehicle full-time for your daily use, one Dutch couple decided to see what EVs were really capable of. Importantly, they’re trying to do as much of the driving as possible powered … [continued]
Unexpected Crystalline Structure Explains Mechanism of Long-Used Solar Cell Treatment and Hints That Further Materials Discoveries Await For more than three decades, photovoltaic researchers have known that the addition of a single chemical — cadmium chloride — creates better-performing cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells. But they have not understood exactly … [continued]
