Transparent solar panels developed by Australian researchers are on track to revolutionize the way photovoltaics are integrated into buildings. Recent efficiency improvements [...]
What if solar cells worked at night? That’s no joke, according to Jeremy Munday, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis. In fact, a [...]
A broad class of materials called perovskites is considered one of the most promising avenues for developing new, more efficient solar cells. But the virtually limitless [...]
A team of researchers from the University of Exeter has discovered an innovative way for generating photovoltaic energy. The new technique relies on ‘funnelling’ the [...]
Sometimes it takes some out-of-the-box thinking to come up with a what seems like a simpler solution to a problem. Physicists at the University of Warwick have published new [...]
The per watt decline in cost of solar cells has led to unprecedented growth in solar energy generation. While the industry is nowhere near to overtaking fossil fuel energy, [...]
The concept: Air conditioning and cooling are a major requirement for industry and residential areas, but use significant amounts of energy that tax the grid at peak hours. [...]
Enthusiastic Business Community Focuses on Economic Opportunity SAN FRANCISCO, January 24, 2017 — It’s not often that you walk into a business conference where [...]
For a perspective on where photovoltaic (PV) R&D is headed, check out the Small Innovative Projects in Solar (SIPS), part of the U.S. Energy Department’s [...]
While we are used to seeing incremental advances in solar cell efficiency almost every week, these smaller advances of one or two percentage points have not captured major [...]
