Perovskite solar cells can be manufactured locally in Europe and elsewhere, providing a buffer against global supply chain disruptions such as the one occurring right now.
Solar cell manufacturing assets and intellectual property from a bankrupt German firm will fuel the growth of a silicon-perovskite solar cell startup in the US.
US President Donald Trump’s easy-peasy takeover of the Venezuelan oil industry is already hitting speed bumps, to the surprise of exactly no-one, except maybe Trump himself. The near-term obstacles include fast-moving security concerns as well as structural issues. However, the real problem is the long-term persistence of the global decarbonization … [continued]
The Panasonic Group announced its AI strategy at CES last year, aiming to expand its AI-powered hardware, software and solutions businesses for the next phase of growth. At CES 2026, held in Las Vegas from January 6–9, the Group showcased the latest outcomes of the strategy. Under the theme of … [continued]
The US DoD is testing tandem perovskite solar cells paired with silicon to improve efficiency, durability, and overall performance without raising costs.
An international research team based at the University of Sydney in Australia has created a highly efficient, durable tandem perovskite solar cell, deploying two perovskite layers along with a silicon layer.
A collaborative effort between NREL and CubicPV has yielded a perovskite minimodule that belongs in the record books. The 24.0% certified efficiency marks the first time a U.S. effort has set a record in the perovskite minimodule category. The researchers at NREL and at CubicPV, a company based in the … [continued]
Using an ionic salt to replace the fullerene layer in perovskite solar cells boosted their performance, efficiency, and durability, according to a global research effort led by scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Their findings appear in the journal Science. The researchers said their findings point to a promising … [continued]
Perovskite solar is getting another moment in the sun, with outlandish claims matched by a lack of global perspective on advances. It’s worth stepping carefully through the various dimensions of this photovoltaic technology, weighing what enthusiasts say against what’s demonstrably true today. In doing so, it’s obvious that perovskite’s pathway … [continued]
Researchers have combined flexible, lightweight CIGS solar technology with perovskite solar cells to achieve a new record in solar conversion efficiency.
