Plug-in solar panels can be fitted to balconies, walls and gardens, but safe installation depends on the right location, ...

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 ...

One of the most interesting updates in the solar energy space comes from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via EES Solar), where researchers have developed 3D-printed, semi-transparent, flexible ...

Scientists at the Autonomous University of Querétaro in Mexico have discovered how to make perovskite solar cells, a type of thin-film cell, more stable and efficient without using traditional lead ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses ...

NTU researchers have developed ultra-thin transparent solar cells that could turn windows, car glass, and wearables into clean power sources without changing how they look.

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

Solar panel efficiency affects how much electricity your system can generate from the roof space available – here’s what that means and why it matters ...

What just happened? Researchers at University College London have developed a new type of solar cell capable of efficiently generating power from indoor light, a breakthrough that could reduce ...

Dendrimers enable perovskite solar cells to recover from moisture damage by capturing key components, allowing repeatable self-healing without sacrificing efficiency. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Solar panels ...
