Today’s modern solar panels are made from silicon-based photovoltaics, but a new technology from Oxford University based on perovskites could make them more flexible and more efficient. At only one ...

For architects looking to build structures that are sustainable and efficient, today’s solar-reflective coatings offer a powerful, cost-effective option. Many of the benefits of solar-reflective ...

Perovskite is quickly gaining on silicon in the solar cell field, but it has one major drawback – durability. Now, a new treatment has been shown to keep perovskite solar cells working at 99% of their ...

A new antireflective coating developed by researchers at Rensselaer could help to overcome two major hurdles blocking the progress and wider use of solar power. The nanoengineered coating, pictured ...

We've been using solar-powered calculators since the 1970s. Why can't the same general idea drive gadgets like tablet computers? Ubiquitous Energy says it can. The Cambridge, Mass. company is ...

Researchers from Australia’s Western Sydney University have created a reflective coating for solar tiles to reduce the operating temperatures of tiles by up to 11 C, while increasing their electrical ...

A physics researcher has developed a nanoparticle coating for solar panels. This coating helps maintain the panels efficiency and reduces maintenance and operation costs. A University of Houston ...

Trapping light with an optical version of a whispering gallery, researchers have developed a nanoscale coating for solar cells that enables them to absorb about 20 percent more sunlight than uncoated ...
