In combination with silicon solar cells, they could play a role in the next generation of photovoltaic systems. Now researchers at KIT have demonstrated that machine learning is a crucial tool for ...

In the lab, perovskite solar cells show high efficiency in converting solar energy into electricity. In combination with silicon solar cells, they could play a role in the next generation of ...

One of the biggest advantages of using AI is that it can detect problems during production. Researcher Felix Laufer, the lead author of the study, explains that their machine learning system can ...

Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a scalable two-step evaporation and inkjet process for perovskite thin-film solar cells. The new technique reportedly enables ...

so if one of the small cells fails a large percentage of the panel may be rendered useless with no way to repair it. A solar development kit like this one from a group called Biosphere Solar is ...

Solar cells are devices for converting sunlight into electricity. Their primary element is often a semiconductor which absorbs light to produce carriers of electrical charge. An applied electric ...

The mineral perovskite is cheaper and more efficient at absorbing light than silicon solar cells, but it has a bit of durability problem when exposed to heat and moisture. Scientists at the ...

This is called Back Contact Cell or Interdigitated Back Contact ... The company's thought of that, and presented a Solar Power Kit for Yoga too. This portable proof-of-concept panel uses what's ...

U.S. solar module provider Mission Solar announced that through its parent company, OCI Holdings, will invest $265 million to ...

Many are familiar with so-called photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, found on things like spacecraft, rooftops, and handheld calculators. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...
