Researchers from University of Genoa and University of Rome Tor Vergata are taking on two well-known metal halide perovskite (MHP) solar PV challenges, reducing the amount of lead while maintaining a ...

Since its invention in the 1970s, the luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) has aimed to enhance solar energy capture by using luminescent materials to convert and concentrate sunlight onto ...

New experiments by swiss researchers have show that industrial-relevant temperatures of 1,050°C can be generated from solar concentrators. Solar power for industrial heat would be able to decarbonize ...

Researchers in China have built a prototype of a spectral-splitting concentrator agrivoltaic system (SCAPV) with a PV efficiency of 9.9, a hybrid light-use efficiency rating of 9.05%, and a levelized ...

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are a promising class of devices designed to harvest diffuse solar radiation by employing a transparent matrix embedded with luminescent materials. These ...

A new world record for converting sunlight into electricity has been set, as announced by the German Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, Soitec, CEA-Lets, and the Helmholtz Center in Berlin ...

Researchers in China have created a transparent, colorless, and unidirectional solar concentrator that can be directly coated onto standard window glass and used to harvest sunlight without changing ...

IBM Research and Switzerland-based Airlight Energy today announced a new parabolic dish that increases the sun’s radiation by 2,000 times while also producing fresh water and air conditioning. The new ...
