MIT’s slimmed-down solar cells would add only 20 kg to a rooftop

Solar cell technology is a seen as a key pillar in our transition to cleaner forms of energy, but within this field there is all kinds of room for experimentation. Solar cells that are thin and flexible hold unique promise in the area, as they could be… Continue reading MIT’s slimmed-down solar cells would add only 20 kg to a rooftop

New efficiency record edges flexible solar cells closer to the mainstream

Solar cells fashioned into thin and flexible films might not just open up new possibilities in the generation of renewable energy, but could also drive down manufacturing costs. One team of scientists in Switzerland has been working to bring the techno… Continue reading New efficiency record edges flexible solar cells closer to the mainstream

Frameless solar panels can be stuck directly to rooftops

Singapore’s Maxeon Solar Technologies reckons that it’s come up with a way to install photovoltaic panels on the roofs of commercial buildings that may not be able to support conventional setups. The company has created frameless, thin and lightweight … Continue reading Frameless solar panels can be stuck directly to rooftops
