“A recent study … found that nanocellulose dyed with red onion skin extract provides very effective UV protection. The nanocellulose film protected 99.9% of UV radiation up to 400 nanometers. This UV filter outperformed even the commercial PET-based UV filter, […]
FOB China prices are now under $0.05/watt for the most popular solar cells in the market. Lower prices open new markets, which drive more volume, which can lower prices further. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for this virtuous cycle! Note […]
“[Researchers] in the Netherlands came together to create a four-terminal perovskite/silicon tandem device. A tandem device can better use solar spectrum since it uses a mix of silicon-based solar cells with perovskite-based solar cells.” | learn more
“in august 2020, a team led by university of michigan researchers set a new efficiency record for color-neutral, transparent solar cells. the team achieved 8.1% efficiency and 43.3% transparency with an organic, or carbon-based, design rather than conventional silicon.” I […]
