As solar power has been developed and popularized across the globe over the last several decades, the industry has given way to more recent innovation that allows for higher efficiency in irregular ...

The CuBert paste was used on an M10 solar cell with a conversion efficiency of 24%. Image: Bert Thin Films. Kentucky-based Bert Thin Films has used a proprietary copper paste on a tunnel oxide ...

Since 2012, UK-based Power Roll has been working on a way to print low-cost solar film to generate clean energy from sunlight. It's now one crucial step closer to manufacturing its lightweight, ...

A Swiss-German research team proposed to use artificial intelligence (AI) methods to establish process parameters for low-variance thin film formation and reproducibility to be able to predict the ...

Researchers created transparent solar windows that capture sunlight at the edges, cutting PV cell needs while keeping ...

Sheet resistance, measured in ohms per square (Ω/ ), is a parameter that quantifies the resistance of thin conductive layers. In solar cells, it primarily influences the performance of the front ...

Sekisui Chemical plans to mass-produce light, flexible solar films as part of a government-subsidized $2 billion project. The Japanese chemical company announced Thursday that it will establish a ...

Astronomers have discovered a rare in-sync solar system with six planets moving like a grand cosmic orchestra, untouched by outside forces since their birth billions of years ago. The find, announced ...

The newborn planetary system appears to be emerging 1,300 light-years away around a baby star known as HOPS-315. Planet-forming materials were first identified using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
