Among the most promising new materials for gathering solar energy are perovskites, which have a unique crystal structure. Flexible and lightweight perovskite solar cells could outperform thin-film solar cells and stiff silicon solar panels in terms of efficiency. Researchers have already achieved efficiencies comparable to silicon solar cells and are currently striving to put their

Researchers at University College Cork have found a way to generate a quarter of Ireland’s electricity needs by installing solar panels on rooftops. For the first time, satellite imagery and weather data were used to assess every rooftop in Ireland. Results come as a new solar energy program that allows homeowners to be compensated or

A future powered by renewable energy may have been assured by farms where fish and algae thrive under solar panels. China’s Concord New Energy, a business that specialises in the development and operation of wind and solar power projects, has erected a 70-MW solar plant on the top of a fish pond in the industrial

Solar panels will aid sustainable energy generation. However, their efficiency is limited unless they receive direct sun radiation exposure. These issues can arise when the sun is obscured by cloud cover or as it rises and sets over a day. Many rotating solar arrays can capture the sun’s rays. However, because of this, they are
