Ultrathin solar cells save material and bend on surfaces but lose light. A gold nanostructured mirror with oxide boosts reflection and reduces energy loss. (Nanowerk News) Ultrathin solar cells are a ...

Zacharie Jehl Li-Kao, a researcher in the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), has developed Soley, an open-access simulation software designed to ...

Abstract: This paper presents an improved mathematical and simulation model for Solar Photovoltaic (PV) cells and compares it to an existing model. The model is able to simulate both the I-V ...

The facility will be developed in two phases, with the first phase to be operational in 2027. Image: INA Solar. Indian solar manufacturing firm INA Solar has broken ground on its fourth 4.5GW cell ...

In silicon solar manufacturing, cells and modules are “flashed” at the end of the production line, with a pulse of light lasting a fraction of a second. This is enough for the device to start ...

These new solar cells are capable of harvesting energy from indoor light. Researchers said the discovery has broad applications and could enable consumers to power devices such as keyboards, alarms ...

Indoor light is an untapped source of energy for billions of small electronics. Devices like remote controls, keyboards, smoke alarms, and sensors spend their entire lifetimes in lit spaces but rely ...

Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated a perovskite–organic tandem solar cell with a certified world-record power conversion efficiency of 26.4% over a 1 cm 2 ...
