To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...

Researchers in India have demonstrated a wet chemical process to recover silicon with high purity from end-of-life solar panels, which they used to make functionalized silica nanoparticles. Tests of ...

The latest Trinasolar module has an output of 808W. Image: Trina Solar. Leading Chinese module manufacturer Trinasolar has developed an 808W solar module that uses perovskite/silicon tandem solar ...

As the price of silicon panels has continued to come down, we've reached the point where they're a small and shrinking cost of building a solar farm. That means that it might be worth spending more to ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

Researchers have come up with a new way to make perovskite films for solar cells. The technique is especially well suited to making ultra-thin films that are semi-transparent, which could be useful ...

Sebastian Bonilla receives funding from UK Research and Innovation, The Royal Academy of Engineering, and The Leverhulme Trust. The sight of solar panels installed on rooftops and large energy farms ...

Global wariness of Chinese solar and E.V. domination offers India an opening. The government is spending money to try to catch up, but it has a long way to go. Credit... Supported by By Somini ...

Solar languished in the shade, if you'll pardon the pun, until as recently as 1954, when scientists Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller, and Daryl Chapin at Bell Labs – as in the Bell Telephone Company – ...
