We see plenty of solar projects here on Hackaday, but they primarily consist of projects that use an off-the-shelf solar panel to power something else. We see very few projects where people actually ...

Scientists in Italy have developed a module with an area of 0.2 sm and an efficiency of 2.7% in outdoor conditions, with a tilt angle of 60 C. They designed it by considering the trade-off between low ...

Onion-skin dye may find use in greener UV-protected solar cells By Ben Coxworth March 20, 2025 Dye-sensitized solar cells were used in the study, as they're particularly prone to UV damage Väinö ...

Physical reservoir computing (PRC) utilizing synaptic devices shows significant promise for edge AI. Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science have introduced a novel self-powered ...

Scientists have increased the power conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells beyond 15% in direct sunlight and 30% in ambient light conditions. Scientists at EPFL have increased the power ...

A group of scientists led by India's National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSIR-NIIST) claims to have boosted the stability and efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells for ...

The sun emits vast amounts of energy towards Earth; however, some of this energy is lost within solar cells. This presents a challenge when it comes to utilizing organic solar cells, particularly for ...
