A research team successfully implemented CuInSe2 thin-film solar cells composed of copper (Cu), indium (In), and selenium (Se ...

Thin film solar cells represent a promising avenue towards cost-effective and sustainable photovoltaic energy conversion. These devices utilise semiconductor layers with thicknesses in the order ...

DGIST’s Daehwan Kim and Shijoon Sung implemented high-efficiency bifacial solar cells on transparent electrodes at low ...

The resulting solar cells demonstrate notable durability. In longevity tests under operational conditions, the cells ...

Sue Carter, a professor of physics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, is pursuing a variety of strategies to develop cheaper and more efficient solar cells. She was awarded five new grants ...

But thin-film solar cells don’t have these same drawbacks; if a cell is punctured or damaged by outside forces, the rest of the cell will continue to function just fine, leaving only the small ...

Scientists are working on a project that can transform solar power in space with the help of lightweight cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells on ultra-thin glass. The technology can revolutionize ...

Thin-film solar panel maker Ascent Solar Technologies announced today that it’s going to repurpose its Thornton, Colorado, factory to accelerate industrial-scale commercialization of perovskite ...

Thin-film solar panels, which have a low efficiency rate, ranging from 10% to 13%, are the least efficient solar panels on the market. They have a shorter life span, 10 to 20 years, and are rarely ...

Thin-film solar panels are made by putting a thin layer of photovoltaic material, such as amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride (CdTe), or copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), on a material like ...
