Finnish company ICS has developed a foil which it claims can significantly increase the yield of solar panels, when applied to the edges of a PV module. Germany’s Fraunhofer ISE has confirmed that the ...

A research team led by Dr. Dong Chan Lim (with co-PIs: Dr. Soyeon Kim, Dr. Jahandar) and a Korean optics application material research company, Solar Optics, succeeded in developing a new type of ...

Scientists from the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) and Solar Optics, a South Korean optics application material research company, have developed a new power generation system based on ...

An international team of engineers, physicists, and chemists have created the first fiber-optic solar cell. These fibers are thinner than human hair, flexible, and yet they produce electricity, just ...

Most concentrators tend to be complex systems that use special lenses, curved mirrors, and other optical components with a “nonzero” focal length. This means that there must be enough distance–an air ...

In the second PV development, announced simultaneously, a new III-V silicon PV module has achieved an efficiency of 31.3 percent, setting a record in its class, and is based on established, ...

A rather new adaptive optics system dubbed Cona has just opened a new window into the mysterious world of the Sun's corona, delivering images of unprecedented clarity. This groundbreaking technology, ...

Scientists develop new optical system that removes blur over fine-structure in the Sun’s corona, revealing clearest images to date This time-lapse video of a prominence above the solar surface reveals ...
