Solar power has an efficiency problem. When the electrons move from the solar panel to the battery that stores them, about 20 percent of the energy is lost. But now, thanks to new type of solar cell, ...

Researchers have developed a new type of back-contact solar cell design that will enable scalable, low-cost manufacturing as it uses a perovskite material and tiny grooves embossed into plastic film.

Perovskite might be our best chance at cheap, efficient solar panels in the near future, and now scientists have figured out how to essentially spray paint solar cells with it. Share on Facebook ...

Ever take a look at a solar panel system and think to yourself: I could build that. The truth is that you probably can. Building a cheap, solar panel system is a fun project to take on that if done ...
