Photovoltaic solar panels are definitely not a new concept. Experts think they are close to raising the competitiveness of organic solar cells, making them appropriate alternatives to the already popular crystalline silicon.Heliatek thinks it is on the right path, since its sample cells displayed a 6.0 percent conver... |

Going green implies some significant financial advantages, according to a new study issued by Queen’s University in Ontario. It seems that the price of photovoltaic solar systems has decreased significantly, exceeding the developers' highest expectations. Joshua Pearce, the author of the paper forecast t... |

Japan is struggling to improve its energy infrastructure, hoping to boost the field of renewables by exploiting the benefits of solar, methanol and fuel cell innovations. Eight months after the Fukushima disaster, authorities try to replace the nuclear power with alternatives displaying a higher safety level.

A new report indicates Apple is on the verge of beginning tests with solar-powered solutions, if a number of Taiwan-based solar firms are to be believed.
Trade publication DigiTimes has learned from the Taiwanese firms that both Apple and Samsung have been “evaluating” the niche market for solar-powere... |

The milestone of 25% efficiency for solar cells has now been reached by the researchers from the ARC Photovoltaic Center of Excellence at The University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Kensington, Australia. Actually, it's not a new product or technology used for silicon solar cells that has enabled them to break t... |

William Yuan, a Beaverton, Oregon 12-year boy, invented a new kind of solar cell that can absorb both visible and ultraviolet light. I bet this kind of news makes you feel pretty weird about your own accomplishments so far. It sure made me. And, to scare you even further, I took a look at little Will'... |

Solar cells have the opportunity to revolutionize the electric energy generation process on Earth, but their use today is highly restricted by the high manufacturing costs and their notorious inefficiency in converting light into electricity. The record conversion efficiency for solar cells has been set a couple of w... |

When talking about solar cell efficiency, even a rise of 1 percent, which to some may appear modest, is reason for researchers to celebrate. The previous solar cell conversion efficiency was averaging 21.9 percent. A new world record for solar cell efficiency has been set on Wednesday by a team of researchers from th... |

It looks like scientists have finally cracked it! They argue that, by creating a solar cell out of differently sized quantum dots, solar cells could become much more efficient than they currently are. This so-called 'rainbow' design involves arranging quantum dots according to size, so that each one acts on... |

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear: solar-energy powered cars? Let me guess... big ugly solar panels, right? That's about to change real quick, so say a couple of researchers from the United Kingdom. Instead of using solid heavy large silicon solar panels, scientists propose the use of... |

Not much to say about solar cells and solar panels these days. Researchers are still working on enhancing the light-electric energy conversion rates, struggling to lower fabrication costs, making solar cells flexible... What am I talking about?? These guys are freaking geniuses! I mean they've made solar cells w... |

The Sun is relatively generous when it comes to providing the Earth with power, as massive amounts of energy are daily radiated towards our planet. It has been calculated that, on a sunny day, the Sun is able to produce about 1,000 watts of pure energy per square meter on the surface of the Earth. If only we were abl... |

Solar cells use the light of the Sun to produce electric current, through an effect known as the photoelectric effect or the Hertz effect, due to its discovery by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. It was first explained by Albert Einstein using the wave-particle duality of the light, work which gave Einstein the Nobel Prize for... |
