‘Silicon Module Super League’ (SMSL) member Trina Solar has set a new record 25.04% conversion efficiency for an N-type monocrystalline IBC (Interdigitated Back Contact) solar cell at its State Key ...

A research team in Iran has designed a four-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells with a 19.3%-efficient bottom heterojunction cell and a 12.7%-efficient perovskite top cell. Both subcells ...

Xinyu Zhang, R&D director at JinkoSolar, speaks to PV Tech. N-type solar cells are the new battleground for solar PV as module manufacturers seek higher efficiencies. This was particularly evident ...

A new generation of 3D-printed solar cells could let buildings generate power through colorful, semi-transparent windows ...

Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and Chinese-Canadian PV module maker Canadian Solar have investigated the effect of soldering flux on both TOPCon and heterojunction (HJT) ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Solar panels are an increasingly efficient, cost-effective, and higher-power-density renewable-energy source, though most ...
