Chinese solar module maker Longi has presented a new tandem perovskite-silicon solar cell with a 34.58% power conversion ...

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells have become a global research hotspot in advanced photovoltaics due to their potential of surpassing the Shockley-Queisser theoretical limit efficiency of ...

Solar energy plays a big role in the fight against climate change. As the world turns to solar power, concerns about the ...

In a new scientific paper published in nature, the Chinese manufacturer presented a new tandem perovskite-silicon solar cell based on a bottom cell with a heterojunction design. It also used a new ...

Silicon has for many years been the dominant material used in solar cells. However, solar cells made of thick monocrystalline silicon wafers are too expensive to be practical for widespread ...

Staff at the Osaka World Expo are wearing neck fans powered by next-generation perovskite solar cells that weigh less than a ...

The theoretical limit for silicon solar cells is 29.3 percent due to physical material properties. ... "With this solar cell structure, we have shown that the approach works in principle, ...

A Spanish-Finnish research team has fabricated an IBC solar cell with an ultrathin black silicon wafer with a thickness of 40 µm. The device is based on vanadium oxide and laser-processed ...

Scientists have set a new efficiency record for perovskite-silicon solar cells. They've almost reached a critical "proof of concept" milestone of 30 percent, clocking 29.15 percent in this experiment.

The structure achieves even more efficiency for light that strikes the solar cell at large angles, which occurs on cloudy days or when the cell is not directly facing the sun. By capturing these ...
