Despite their clear efficiency advantages, high-resistivity, lightly doped silicon wafers have seen limited adoption ...

High-resistivity silicon wafers offer superior efficiency potential but are highly sensitive to edge recombination and mechanical damage, limiting their commercial use compared to more robust standard ...

Driven by n-type solar cell adoption, utility-scale photovoltaics, and ultra-high purity semiconductor applications, ...

A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades.

These cells could be laminated onto various kinds of surfaces, such as the sails of a boat to provide power while at sea.

Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...

Perovskite solar cells operated for months in low Earth orbit and tolerated radiation equivalent to decades in space, marking the most comprehensive orbital test of the technology.

The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association (CNMIA) says wafer, cell and module prices remain stable, while industry operating rates are edging lower across leading and integrated manufacturers.
