BRIT households are set to be able to buy a bargain gadget within months – and it could slash your yearly energy bills. Here’s everything you need to know about plug-in solar panels and how ...

A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

The singlet fission experiment captured energy with high efficiency. (Kyushu University) Scientists are always pushing the ...

The devices haven't been available in Britain before, and households may be unsure how they work and whether their home could ...

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity that you can use in your home. Silicon cells in each panel absorb photons from ...

From the first consultation to the technical survey, scaffolding, commissioning and aftercare, here’s how long each stage can take ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

Does adding a new home solar panel system makes sense in northern climates? This Canadian homeowner shares their experience.
