You’ve always associated solar power with heat, bright sun, and hot panels. But what if some of the most exciting progress in ...

The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades.

Under the terms of the deal, Germany’s NexWafe will supply its ultrathin solar wafers to Talon PV’s planned 4.8 GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing plant in Texas. Initial qualification work will take ...

Researchers at NREL found that UV exposure can cause significant, partly non-recoverable degradation in TOPCon solar cells, with strong cell-to-cell and intra-cell variability linked to passivation ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

Researchers in China have unveiled a new way to significantly improve the efficiency and ...

Korea University researchers have developed a machine-learning framework that predicts solar cell efficiency from wafer quality, enabling early wafer screening and optimized production paths. Using ...

Talon PV, the solar cell manufacturer building a facility outside Houston, has signed a supply agreement with NexWafe, a German silicon wafer company.

RF Micro Devices (RFMD) (www.rfmd.com) recently announced that it has fabricated dual-junction photovoltaic (PV) cells that integrate gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) PV ...

Silicon heterojunction solar cells combine crystalline silicon substrates with thin amorphous silicon layers in order to harness the complementary benefits of both materials. The crystalline substrate ...
