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 ...

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are ...

Engineers at the University of New South Wales have developed a real-time monitoring technique that reveals how silicon solar ...

In a previous article, I wrote that if you were to start a solar business, the Nordic region would not be the obvious choice, and yet the challenges of doing so have created a thriving sector. But ...

Engineers have developed a way to monitor solar cells at a microscopic level while they are operating – to discover exactly how damage caused by ultraviolet light can be naturally repaired.

Large-scale production of organic solar cells with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. In the study, the researchers studied molecule shape and interaction in organic solar cells.

Solar power has long been seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But its everyday use still faces hurdles. Traditional panels are bulky, stiff, and completely opaque. That makes them hard to fit ...
