At a recent solar energy trade show, the first thing anyone would note is that solar cells are cheaper than ever before. Perhaps second, is that solar vendors had all sorts of solar panels. There were ...

Researchers at NTU Singapore have developed ultra-thin perovskite solar cells about 50 times thinner than conventional designs using a vacuum-based thermal evaporation process. The devices can be semi ...

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

Perovskite solar cells are among the most promising technologies for making solar power cheaper and more efficient. Working with partners from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), DESY ...

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...

NTU researchers have developed ultra-thin transparent solar cells that could turn windows, car glass, and wearables into ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics.
