One of the most interesting updates in the solar energy space comes from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via EES Solar), where researchers have developed 3D-printed, semi-transparent, flexible ...

A vacuum-based process could make solar cells faster and cheaper to produce while delivering efficiency on surfaces used in ...

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 ...

How the Sun's energy gets to us How solar cells and solar panels work What energy solar cells and panels use What the advantage and disadvantages of solar energy are This resource is suitable for ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say they have developed a technology ...

Researchers in Sweden developed a bifacial chalcoprite solar cell using a titanium-doped indium oxide (ITiO) back contact, achieving 68% bifaciality. The device is able to maintain strong front-side ...

The ultra-thin TOPCon solar cell uses dual-sided polysilicon passivated contacts formed by low-pressure chemical vapor ...

A single photon goes in. Roughly 1.3 usable energy carriers come out. That is the result reported in May 2026 by a team at Kyushu University and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, who used a quantum ...
