Researchers have pushed all-perovskite tandem solar cells past the 30% efficiency threshold, a long-sought target that puts this emerging technology in direct competition with the best conventional ...

Researchers from University of Genoa and University of Rome Tor Vergata are taking on two well-known metal halide perovskite (MHP) solar PV challenges, reducing the amount of lead while maintaining a ...

Since its invention in the 1970s, the luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) has aimed to enhance solar energy capture by using luminescent materials to convert and concentrate sunlight onto ...

The previous solar efficiency record has now been broken, and this one could have ...

New experiments by swiss researchers have show that industrial-relevant temperatures of 1,050°C can be generated from solar concentrators. Solar power for industrial heat would be able to decarbonize ...

Researchers in China have created a transparent, colorless, and unidirectional solar concentrator that can be directly coated onto standard window glass and used to harvest sunlight without changing ...

The research team’s semi-transparent solar concentrator can be directly coated onto standard window glass. It uses liquid crystal films to reflect and guide circularly-polarized sunlight to solar ...

Researchers created transparent solar windows that capture sunlight at the edges, cutting PV cell needs while keeping buildings visually unchanged. The device, called a cholesteric unidirectional ...
