Solar panels struggle under cloud cover or when it rains. Can you imagine a solar module that converts rain into electricty?

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

A new study finds farmers can enjoy increased crop yeilds under partial shade of solar panels long after they stop working ...
