Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have investigated how effectively the laser-assisted firing process developed by Chinese solar module manufacturer Jolywood, the ...

Silicon solar cells were supposed to be running out of headroom, yet a new device has pushed their performance to 27.81% efficiency and reset expectations for what a single-junction cell can do. That ...

Engineers at Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) have claimed to have achieved a new world record for photovoltaic efficiency using high-bandgap kesterite solar cells (CZTS). The ...

Researchers working with copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) solar cells reported a 20.4 percent efficiency result on flexible polymer films, a level that underscores how far high-performance thin ...

A research team in Egypt has proposed a new architecture for kesterite solar cells using a copper oxide hole transport layer and optimized configuration. The simulated device had a maximum efficiency ...

Researchers have found a way to dramatically reducing energy loss and boosting efficiency perovskite solar cells by incorporating rubidium using lattice strain -- a slight deformation in the atomic ...
