The days of doing side-by-side comparisons of thin-film technologies and different absorber process flows may now be a thing of the past, at least outside the research laboratories. However, it is ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed a process to enable colored and flexible, thin film modules suitable for vehicle and building-integrated PV applications. It is reportedly a low-cost process ...

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Sharp Corp, one of the world's biggest makers of silicon-based solar cells, said on Monday it would introduce next generation thin film solar cells in the U.S. market in August ...

SAN DIEGO, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Sharp Corp <6753.T>, one of the world's biggest makers of silicon-based solar cells, said on Monday it would introduce next generation thin film solar cells in the U.S.

A four-year analysis conducted at a testing field in eastern Poland has shown that crystalline solar panels offer a stronger performance than thin-film panels at high latitudes. The tests revealed ...

Solar panels are mostly made of silicon, which derives from sand. Here's how that abundant substance is transformed into something that generates electricity. If you're looking to install a solar ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- A transparent thin film barrier used to protect flat panel TVs from moisture could become the basis for flexible solar panels that would be installed on roofs like shingles.

Switch to solar with a system built for you. Monocrystalline (“mono”) solar panels are made from a single silicon crystal, making them highly efficient. These panels can generate more power per square ...
