Researchers take big step toward developing next-generation photovoltaic (PV) cells

In a new paper published February 26 in the journal Nature Energy, a CU Boulder researcher and his international collaborators unveiled an innovative method to manufacture the new solar cells, known as perovskite cells, an achievement critical for the commercialization of what many consider the next generation of solar technology. Today, nearly all solar panels … Continue reading Researchers take big step toward developing next-generation photovoltaic (PV) cells

Promise of perovskite as Australian lab hits record photovoltaic (PV) efficiency

It gives promise for perovskite as a simpler, more mobile method of deploying renewable energy in hard-to-reach places. Anthony Chesman, group leader for renewable energy systems at CSIRO and a contributor to the research, stresses their new tech won’t be competing with conventional silicon, but will offer a suitable entry point for some industries, and … Continue reading Promise of perovskite as Australian lab hits record photovoltaic (PV) efficiency

Perovskite solar cells became a reality

Perovskites hold promise for creating solar panels that can be applied as a coating, even on flexible and textured surfaces. In addition, they would also be light solar panels, cheap to produce and as efficient as the main current photovoltaic materials, which are mainly silicon. One of the last hurdles for solar cells made from … Continue reading Perovskite solar cells became a reality

Department of Energy announces $20 million to advance Perovskite solar technologies

Perovskites are a family of materials with a specific crystal structure, named after the mineral with that structure and when used to create solar cells, they have shown potential for high performance and low production costs. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $20 million in funding to advance perovskite solar photovoltaic technologies. Perovskites are … Continue reading Department of Energy announces $20 million to advance Perovskite solar technologies
