Chinese researchers have built a solar redox flow battery (SRFB) that can harvest sunlight and store energy at the same time, ...

Chinese researchers have unveiled a solar “battery” that does not just generate electricity, it stores it directly, reaching ...

Scientists in China have constructed and tested a device that uses redox couples paired with a single triple-junction amorphous-silicon photoelectrode. When tested under a xenon lamp simulating one ...

Thermophotovoltaic is the term used to describe direct energy conversion process from heat to electricity. Although this principle is still under development, scientists from MIT were able to build a ...

Hanergy Thin Film Power Group (“Hanergy”) has announced that Fraunhofer ISE CalLab PV Modules, a German solar energy testing laboratory, has rated its US-based subsidiary Alta Devices' newest solar ...

The ‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member said this week it has achieved 22.8% conversion efficiency for its p-type multi-crystalline silicon ‘P5’ cell, a gain on the 22.28% mark it claimed to ...

Three factors make going solar an increasingly attractive and smart decision for breweries: the high energy costs associated with the brewing process, the suitability of brewing facilities’ flat roofs ...

There wasn’t much of a solar energy bandwagon — let alone a crowded one — in 1972, when University of Delaware physicist Karl Böer founded the Institute of Energy Conversion. At the time, energy ...

Scientists have created a solar cell thinner than a human hair with a conversion efficiency of nearly 50 percent, more than double the efficiency of devices currently sold on the commercial market and ...

A team of researchers has created a perovskite solar mini module that has recorded the highest power conversion efficiency of any perovskite-based device larger than 10 cm2. A team of researchers at ...
