A class of materials called perovskites is being explored to create solar panels within the next few years.

Scientists from Spectrolab, Inc., a subsidiary of Boeing, have recently published their research on the fabrication of solar cells that surpass the 40% efficiency milestone—the highest efficiency achieved for any photovoltaic device. Their results appear in a recent edition of Applied Physics Letters.

Fossil fuels are convenient — for now. Compare solar energy and fossil fuel costs, efficiency, availability and more. Plus, learn about the benefits.

Chunlei Guo has proposed a physics-based approach that increases the light conversion of perovskite by 250 percent.

Renewable energy is very much welcomed, in order to bring self sufficiency to the means of producing electricity. We have popular sources…

Every single hour, enough solar energy reaches the Earth's surface to power our planet's energy needs for an entire year we're on the verge of a solar

Perovskite solar cells have lower carbon footprints and shorter energy payback periods than silicon.

A dependable and eco-friendly method of producing electricity is solar photovoltaics. Perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar modules made industrially, supplied by Oxford PV, have been examined for the first time in a study of their lifecycle environmental effects.

Solar panels are a critical technology in our move towards net zero. Even though we're seeing a decrease in silicon-based solar panel costs, we haven't seen significant efficiency improvements ... yet. But what if we could build panels using materials that aren't supply-limited and with a more straightforward, lower carbon process? As well as achieving

Perovskites are the most promising solar cell technology in the world, and they might be on your roof soon. Here’s how they work & when they’ll be available.

What are perovskites? These materials hold promise for creating lightweight, inexpensive solar panels that could be easily deposited onto most surfaces, including flexible and textured ones.

In the quest for the most efficient solar panels, perovskite solar cells have emerged as the potential future of photovoltaic technology.

The environmental impacts of the hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSC) for 1 kWp are lower than for silicon photovoltaics, despite the excessive energy consumption and the great uncertainty. Especially...

Why is solar panel efficiency important? We explain the misconceptions around efficiency and list the most efficient panels from the leading manufacturers using the latest PV cell technology.

Perovskite solar cells have drawn a significant amount of research attention as a promising alternative to conventional silicon-based solar cells, due to their efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. Perovskite solar cells are a hybrid of organic and inorganic materials and consist of a light-harvesting layer and a charge-transporting layer.
