A fine molecular engineering strategy for non-fullerene acceptors delivers 19.67% power conversion efficiency with record-low ...

A Hong Kong Polytechnic University team built a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that holds 97% efficiency even when part of it is shaded. The design avoids reverse-bias stress, the damage ...

Researchers have improved an experimental solar cell by controlling the directions in which it releases light. The design ...

Researchers have reported a new efficiency record for a larger experimental solar device made from perovskite, a promising ...

A quiet revolution is reshaping the future of sustainable architecture. Instead of treating buildings merely as energy-saving shells, designers are now turning them into active power generators. With ...

For decades, solar panels occupied an awkward place in the built environment. Celebrated for efficiency yet criticized for their visual rigidity, they were often concealed behind parapet walls or ...

The US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon has revealed 105 teams from 93 collegiate institutions for its 2024 Design Challenge. The competitors will develop high-performance, zero-energy buildings.

Parking lots and garage rooftops offer expansive, un-shaded and unobstructed spaces ideal for housing commercial-scale solar energy systems. For years, solar photovoltaics (PV) have proven to be a ...
