Researchers improve efficiency of next-generation solar cell …
Perovskites are a leading candidate for eventually replacing silicon as the material of choice for solar panels. They offer the potential for low-cost, low-temperature manufacturing of ultrathin, lightweight flexible cells, but so far their efficiency at converting sunlight to electricity has lagged behind that of silicon and some other alternatives.
18 Times More Power: MIT Researchers Have Developed Ultrathin ...
This article is very misleading. Solar is measured in power/area, not power/weight. Telling us the power/weight ratio merely tells us that these cells can be produced cheaply. 18 times more power per kg, but weighing 100 times less, means that if I have 2 solar panels with the same surface area, the one made from the new material …
Solar panel technology is set to be turbo-charged
As our new research shows, current tandem solar cells must be redesigned if they''re to be manufactured at the scale required to become the climate-saving technology the planet needs. The most advanced silicon solar cells produced today are about as good as the technology will get.
