New solar energy research has demonstrated that electrons can move across solar panels at a speed far greater than previously understood.

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Much of the recent run-up can be explained by a shift toward TOPCon, a new solar technology that requires more silver.

Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only scratching the surface of what is physically possible. A wave of ...

Solar power has long been constrained by a supposedly unbreakable ceiling on how much sunlight a panel can turn into electricity. That barrier is now cracking as a new class of solar materials pushes ...
