Solar power has an efficiency problem. When the electrons move from the solar panel to the battery that stores them, about 20 percent of the energy is lost. But now, thanks to new type of solar cell, ...

Researchers have developed a new type of back-contact solar cell design that will enable scalable, low-cost manufacturing as it uses a perovskite material and tiny grooves embossed into plastic film.

Perovskite might be our best chance at cheap, efficient solar panels in the near future, and now scientists have figured out how to essentially spray paint solar cells with it. Share on Facebook ...

Cheap and flexible perovskite solar cells could revolutionize solar power, making it easier than ever to power the world with sunlight. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Ever take a look at a solar panel system and think to yourself: I could build that. The truth is that you probably can. Building a cheap, solar panel system is a fun project to take on that if done ...

U.S.-based manufacturers say that Chinese companies based in Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia are dumping cheap solar panels on the American market. The U.S. government has finalized severe ...

Founded in Dresden in the early 1990s, Germany’s Solarwatt quickly became an emblem of Europe’s renewable energy ambitions and bold plan to build a solar power industry. Its opening of a new solar ...

Glimmering, deep-blue solar panels carpet rooftops in Pakistan’s largest cities and dot the perimeters of houses in villages across the country. Pakistan, home to more than 240 million people, is ...
