World record efficiency of 26.5% on a tandem solar cell based on a flexible CIGS solar cell
In a collaboration between USA based MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp and European Solliance Solar Research a power conversion efficiency of 26.5% on a tandem solar cell was established. The architecture combines two thin-film solar cell technologies: a top rigid semi-transparent perovskite solar cell with a bottom flexible copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) cell. This impressive efficiency ...

H2 Eco installs `invisible` solar panels
Although solar PV panels are becoming far more commonplace, there are still times where home owners find the look of the panels too obtrusive. The team were recently called to a property in Wimborne where the homeowner was most keen to utilise solar energy, but had concerns about the visual impact on his roof. Not only that, but his neighbours had also made comments about seeing ...

New flexible microcells increase opportunities for solar power
Windows in buildings and cars could be used as 'solar panels', thanks to a new design of solar cell. The new silicon-based 'microcells' are lightweight, flexible, partially transparent and can be coated onto other surfaces such as glass and plastic. While photovoltaic cells are becoming ever more efficient, incorporating them into different designs often remains a challenge and restricts their ...
