Fraunhofer ISE’s study uncovered critical degradation effects caused by moisture ingress and UV irradiation in accelerated aging.

LONGi and the School of Materials at Sun Yat-sen have developed HJT back contact solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of 27.09%.

Researchers from Fraunhofer ISE have developed a perovskite silicon solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 31.6%.

Teams from Enertis Applus+ and the University of the Basque Country report on a new methodology to improve bifacial performance assessments.

Fraunhofer ISE has launched a new project to research manufacturing processes for use in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).

The world is on pace to add 593GW of new solar power capacity in 2024, a 29% increase over the capacity added in 2023.

Swansea University has developed an 'innovative freeware tool' to assess the effectiveness of different solar panel materials and colours.

EneCoat Technologies has raised JPY5.5 billion (US$35 million) in Series C financing to support research into perovskite solar cells.

The world will add 3.8TWac of new solar capacity by 2033, alongside 1.6TW of new wind capacity, according to Wood Mackenzie.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has found that a “hybrid polymer material” in perovskite cells could minimise weather-based degradation.
