by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 11, 2025 Overview Energy has revealed an airborne power-beaming demonstration that transmitted energy from a moving aircraft to a ground receiver 5 kilometers below, marking its second major step toward delivering grid-scale solar power from space. The test used the same optics and […]
by Robert Schreiber Berlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 11, 2025 Perovskite solar cells can be made more robust, efficient, scalable and cheaper to manufacture by replacing indium tin oxide with single-walled carbon nanotubes in the device architecture, according to research led by the University of Surrey. The team reports that substituting indium tin oxide, […]
by Robert Schreiber Brussels, Belgium (SPX) Dec 09, 2025 Researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and partners have mapped how emerging chalcogenide semiconductor absorbers behave in photoelectrochemical systems that convert sunlight and CO2 into chemical fuels. They examined how the electronic band structure of these materials governs charge generation, separation, and transfer at […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 05, 2025 A research team at Wuhan University of Technology led by Professor Tao Wang has developed a vacuum-assisted thermal annealing (VTA) process that tackles the linked challenges of efficiency and stability in organic solar cells. The method engineers the internal structure of the photovoltaic active […]
by Oleksandr Afanasenko | Director Dela Energy Systems Kyiv, Ukraine (SPX) Dec 12, 2021 The development of solar energy in countries with a limited resource of free land increasingly relies on bringing degraded and technogenically disturbed areas into use. Former agricultural yards, exhausted industrial sites, landfills, and abandoned factories constitute a significant land […]
by Robert Schreiber Berlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 04, 2025 Perovskite solar cells are under development as candidates for next generation photovoltaic modules, but commercial use remains limited by long term instability driven in part by migrating ions in the absorber layer. A team from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and the University of Potsdam has […]
