When opting to use solar panels as a power source for your home or business, the choices tend to revolve around where to place them and how big they should be. But there's at least one more decision ...

While there is certainly a fair amount of warranted pessimism about the future of our planet, there is also warranted optimism – at least that’s what Professor Dong-Seon Lee of the Gwangju Institute ...

Chinese researchers have developed a pure EVA film, which they claim can enhance the conversion efficiency of conventional crystalline solar cells by around 0.50%. The film is able to convert UV light ...

Solar is the most popular form of renewable energy worldwide, accounting for a reported three-quarters of all new renewable capacity in 2023. While much of that capacity comes from large-scale solar ...

In 2008, the world annual production of photovoltaic (PV) cells reached more than 7.9 GW p (W p, peak power under standard test conditions) 1, and the average annual growth rate in PV cell production ...

A research team from the University of Huddersfield used electron microscopy to analyze micro-cracks in 4,000 polycrystalline silicon solar cell samples. The results showed power losses may vary from ...

Neo Solar Power (NSP) will phase out production of polycrystalline silicon solar cells due to increasing price competition from China-based makers, and will focus on PERC (passivated emitter and rear ...

Whether you use your RV for family road trips or you’ve moved over to full-time RV living, having a solar energy system gives you more freedom and flexibility. It also can save you money while being a ...

A team of scientists from the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) determined that surface recombination limits the performance of polycrystalline perovskite solar cells.

During its analyst day event held last week, First Solar presented an updated roadmap for its Cadmium Telluride (Cd-Te) thin film panels, indicating that conversion efficiencies, which have typically ...
