New tech promises to make colorful solar cells to jazz up your house

One of the most interesting updates in the solar energy space comes from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via EES Solar), where researchers have developed 3D-printed, semi-transparent, flexible perovskite solar cells with adjustable color and transparency. Traditionally, solar panels are either blue, dark gray, or black, depending on the type of panel and the materials […]

Solar-plus-storage and federal policy to drive investment tax credit trends in 2026

“The passage of the OBBBA has principally had an impact on the buy side of the market, at least in the short term. It’s changed the corporate tax capacity of a lot of very large corporations, and broadly introduced uncertainty into what a company’s ultimate tax liability will be for 2025 and 2026,” explains Katie

Multivalent ligands regulate dimensional engineering for inverted perovskite solar modules | Science

Multivalent, resonance-stabilized amidinium ligands enable stronger chemical coordination and reduced deprotonation compared with conventional monovalent ammonium ligands in low-dimensional perovskites. Here, we introduce a controllable one- to two… https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aea0656

UK research calls for robust approach to rooftop solar fire safety

UK research calls for robust approach to rooftop solar fire safety

Research commissioned by the UK government finds rooftop solar panels can significantly influence fire behavior, particularly when the height gap between modules and the roof surface falls below critical limits. December 30, 2025 Patrick Jowett A research paper commissioned by the UK government has concluded that a more comprehensive approach to fire safety in rooftop
