Pyramid lenses catch light from any angle to boost solar cell efficiency

Solar cells are an increasingly important source of renewable energy, but there's still room for improvement. Stanford engineers have now developed a pyramid-shaped lens that can focus sunlight from any angle onto a solar cell, keeping it collecting power from sunrise to sunset.

Scientists just broke the record for the highest efficiency solar cell

The solar scene is being illuminated. And it's blinding. A team of researchers at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has created a solar cell with a record efficiency of 39.5 percent under 1-sun global illumination, breaking the world record for solar cell efficiency, according to a recent study published in the journal Joule .
