A recent study from the University of Michigan investigated the impact of proton radiation — a major threat in space — on ...

so if one of the small cells fails a large percentage of the panel may be rendered useless with no way to repair it. A solar development kit like this one from a group called Biosphere Solar is ...

Perovskite is a new type of solar cell that can outperform the silicon-based cells found in most of today’s solar panels in ...

Researchers from Belgium and the University of Cyprus have completed outdoor stability tests of perovskite solar mini-modules ...

Now, it's developed a new micro-CPV setup, which uses optical systems to focus light onto small solar cells made with III-V semiconductor materials, according to CleanTechnica. Fraunhofer ISE's ...

China's Trina Solar has set a new world record for the conversion efficiency of a certain type of solar module, the company ...

European researchers are developing miniaturized space propulsion technology that is propellant-free and based on ...

Over the past two years, imec conducted a comprehensive study of the outdoor performance of their perovskite PV modules. Mini ...

which is currently powered by an LDO regulator and a small solar cell. While this is fairly energy efficient, the energy harvesters that he is testing with this build will go far beyond what an ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...
