Chinese solar cell developer Sunport Power announced its “full black” series of solar modules, based on its Metal Back Contact (MBC)2.0 technology, at SNEC 2023 last month. The technology builds on a ...

The new solar thermal generator (STEG) revolutionizes the way we convert the sun's heat into clean, continuous electricity.

The breakthrough lies in a unique, laser-etched "black metal" developed by researchers over the past five years, which they now hope to use in solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs). STEGs are a type ...

Solar panels have become a familiar sight on rooftops and in solar farms, but a different kind of solar technology might soon give us an even bigger boost in renewable energy. A team of researchers ...

Scientists seeking ways to amp up the capabilities of solar power generators have discovered a method that can boost their efficiency by a factor of 15. The breakthrough lies in a unique, laser-etched ...

When it comes to solar power, solar cells and panels tend to get all the attention. But there's a different kind of solar power generator known as a STEG, and researchers have just figured out a way ...

A Rochester team engineered a new type of solar thermoelectric generator that produces 15 times more power than earlier versions. By enhancing heat absorption and dissipation rather than tweaking ...
