Researchers from UCLA and California NanoSystems Institute have developed a new transparent solar cell, giving windows in homes and other buildings the ability to generate electricity. This new kind of polymer solar cell (PSC) produces energy by absorbing more near-infrared light but is less sensitive to visible

University of Arizona (UA) researchers are continuing to improve groundbreaking technology to produce solar electricity at a price competitive with non-renewable energy sources. A prototype of the “tracker” at the university has a house-sized frame of crisscrossing steel tubes, mounted onto a swiveling post in the concrete

Northwestern University researchers have developed a new solar cell that, in principle, will minimize all of the current solar energy technology limitations, including high production cost, low operating efficiency and durability, and reliance on toxic and scarce materials, according to the researchers. The device is the first

Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. says that its Pluto cell technology has set a world-record 20.3% efficiency for a production cell using standard commercial-grade p-type silicon wafers. The cell was developed by Suntech’s research and technology development team, in collaboration with the University of New South Wales.
