Researchers at NREL found that UV exposure can cause significant, partly non-recoverable degradation in TOPCon solar cells, with strong cell-to-cell and intra-cell variability linked to passivation ...

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.

Topics include accelerating beyond module assembly to promote investment and creation of new wafer and cell capacity in the U.S. Figure: Ownership and location of factories producing solar cells for ...

A team of researchers from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) and German technology company LPKF Laser & Electronics SE have developed a low-temperature ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.
