How Do Solar Cells Work?

There are really only two possible endpoints for human energy production, and they're both fusion. Either we find a way to create tiny, controlled fusion reactions here on Earth (fusion power) or we ...
UNSW researchers boosted TOPCon solar cell efficiency by locally thinning the rear poly-Si layer, reducing parasitic absorption while preserving wafer integrity. The champion cell built with this ...
The ASTM G173 Standard Spectral Distribution of Sunlight represents a standard, reference solar spectrum that is used for solar photovoltaics testing and calibration purposes. It was defined in the ...
Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...
A newly developed metasurface-based silicon antireflective coating combines rectangular and cylindrical meta-atom geometries. The metasurface achieves just 5 percent reflection, compared to ~50 ...
Perovskite solar cells have garnered widespread attention as a low-cost, high-efficiency alternative to conventional silicon ...
