Scientists led by Switzerland’s École Polytechnique Fedérale de Lausanne (EPFL) demonstrated a simple approach to designing the interface between two layers in a perovskite solar cell, which was shown to improve both the performan...  more

Swiss scientists stated that they succeeded in the increase of the efficiency for flexible CIGS solar cell and have achieved a world record efficiency of 21.38%. The result was confirmed by Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar...  more

Perovskite solar cells, which have managed to achieve a conversion efficiency of up to 25% in recent tests, have made a lot of significant progress in the past few years. Using a n-i-p cell architecture, a team of scientists from Saudi Arabia  were able to create an advanced perovskite-silicon tandem cell that features an impressive conversion efficiency of 27%. ...  more

The conversion efficiency of solar cells recently produced using III-V semiconductors have reached highly impressive rates. German scientists have now also developed group III-V silicon tandem solar cells with a conversion efficiency of 35.9%. At this rate, it is clear that this kind of solar technology has the greatest potential to break the 50% conversion threshold. ...  more

Solar energy has become a relatively competitive source of power generation, though an improvement on the existing technology and a further elevation in the conversion efficiency is certainly a good thing. German scientists have recently integrated a nanostructure with a solar cell that is completely different in design to produce a solar cell that may achieve a conversion efficiency of 26%. ...  more

Perovskite and organic solar are promising new solar technology as they offer excellent performance in a thinner and lighter fashion in contrast to existing solar cells, with relatively extensive application range at the same time, and now their application fields have been expanded to space, where scientists have completed testing for perovskite and organic solar. ...  more

III-V solar cells have a high conversion efficiency, with the highest efficiency already surpassing 43.5%, and now American scientists have broken a new record by achieving a 47.1% of efficiency for the new solar cell model, closing in on the 50% mark. ...  more

While conventional rooftop solar panels are now widely used to help cut electricity bills for many types of buildings, the cost savings from adopting photovoltaics could be much greater if solar panels can double as windows for homes and offices. ...  more
