“Organic solar cells are flexible and lightweight, and they have the promise of low-cost solution processing, which can have advantages for manufacturing over previous-generation technologies that ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon ...

A recent industry event about organic, perovskite, and other emerging cell technologies hosted by TechBlick revealed advances in power conversion efficiencies, stability, availability of materials ...

Even so, organic solar cells a decade ago were largely laboratory curiosities that produced electricity with very low efficiency—about 1%.

Organic solar cells (OPVs), or plastic solar cells, are a type of cell that employs organic conductive polymers to collect energy from the Sun.

In an important step toward bringing transparent solar cells to home windows, researchers have developed a way to manufacture their highly efficient and semitransparent solar cells.

Organic solar cells are cheaper to produce and more flexible than their counterparts made of crystalline silicon, but do not offer the same level of efficiency or stability. Researchers ...

Researchers in Japan have built a stretchable organic solar cell than can ensure high efficiency levels while preventing crack initiation and propagation.

Solar panels are made with toxic materials, including cadmium, lead, and hexafluorosilicic acid. Manufacturing also involves high-temperature furnaces, dangerous acids, and waste byproducts that are ...

Solar Organic Centro España is planning to build a 10GW solar module and battery manufacturing facility in Spain.
