A Chinese manufacturer has set a new world record for solar module efficiency. In lab tests, the efficiency rate of Trina's large-surface n-type completely passivated heterojunction (HJT) modules was ...

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 ...

Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the University of Colorado have collaborated to develop a high-efficiency dual-junction solar cell, which includes a thin multi-quantum-well ...
