Leonardo David is a writer and energy consultant who has worked on projects funded by the Inter-American Development Bank. An electromechanical engineer, he has written about solar energy and the ...

Thin-film panels are generally the least efficient, but new materials such as perovskite can match the efficiency of silicon cells. As you can see, monocrystalline solar panels are the most ...

But there are also solar dye cells, thin film solar cells, and solar panels made of a different type of crystal called perovskites. These approaches use semiconducting materials to produce ...

The best solar panels for RVs free you from dependency on external power sources, allowing you to truly travel anywhere you ...

Will a new breed of thin-film amorphous solar cells deliver double the efficiency at half the cost of their silicon-based ...

First Solar's strong performance, driven by increased module sales and favorable policies, underscores its growth potential.

Scientists in Egypt have created an anti-soiling coating for solar panels by mixing ethanol, deionized water, ammonium ...

Researchers have developed a new method for light and matter interaction, paving the way for the production of ultrathin silicon solar cells. The University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine ...

Polycrystalline Solar Cells: Polycrystalline panels are made from multiple silicon fragments, resulting in lower efficiency but typically lower cost. Thin-Film Solar Cells: Thin-film panels use ...

Portable solar panels, which could be used on-the-go to charge devices, are being developed by university researchers. At the National Thin-Film Cluster Facility (NTCF) for Advanced Functional ...
