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 ...

A research team led by scientists at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and partners has pushed a monolithic ...

An international research group has published breakthrough findings demonstrating how the ionic compound caesium bromide (CsBr) can significantly improve the efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) ...

The ASTM G173 Standard Spectral Distribution of Sunlight represents a standard, reference solar spectrum that is used for solar photovoltaics testing and calibration purposes. It was defined in the ...

Solar panel innovator LONGi recently reached two technology milestones. First, its hybrid interdigitated-back-contact (HIBC) ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

Combined summary of 2025 record efficiencies for silicon, perovskite, and organic solar cells, illustrating the latest technological benchmarks and cross-platform performance comparison under standard ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...
