Monocrystalline, polycrystalline or thin-film? Here’s how the main types of solar panel compare on efficiency, lifespan, and the roof space you’ll need.

Because TOPCon modules have a lower temperature coefficient, they lose less power when the roof tiles or metal sheets heat up ...

Researchers from Nanchang University and Trina Solar found that TOPCon solar modules exhibit metastable “degradation–recovery” under UV exposure, with light soaking fully restoring performance and no ...

Such performance, combined with low-cost fabrication potential, makes PSCs a tantalizing prospect for next-generation solar ...

Crystalline silicon solar cells currently dominate the global photovoltaic industry, with tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) technology—a type of architecture within this product ...

A research team has produced a flexible perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell that converts 33.6% of sunlight into electricity ...

Researchers in the U.S. have developed a set of guidelines and protocols to assess the performance of three-terminal (3-T) and four-terminal (4-T) tandem solar cells, including those with subcells ...

A group of scientists from Chinese solar module maker Longi has described in a new scientific paper the 27.81%-efficient hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) solar cell it unveiled in April 2025.

Researchers in China have developed a new type of polymer solar cells that deliver ...

While they may appear to be insignificant, raindrops’ impact on surfaces can create measurable electrical signals when ...
