A new efficiency world record for converting sunlight into electricity has been set, in what researchers claim is a huge boost for renewable energy. Researchers at Longi, the world’s biggest solar panel manufacturer, achieved a 34.6 per cent power conversion efficiency using a tandem perovskite-silicon solar cell, beating the previous record by 0.7 per cent. The new record is also more than 7 per cent more efficient than the record for a standard silicon solar cell, which is found in most commercial solar panels. Perovskite has been hailed as a ‘miracle material’ for its…

This photovoltaic ceramic is 1000 times more powerful than solar panels: free electricity for you at home
We were going to do away with solar panels: The biggest failure in American history This energy bunker will give you free electricity at home: electricity for life and 80 kWh Hydrogen teleported for first time and no one understands how: 20 tons that can be anywhere Experts are increasingly clear: solar panels are far from being the future of domestic self-consumption. One proof of this is the wind fence that we saw yesterday, but we have another even more surprising one: this is the photovoltaic ceramic that produces 1000 times more energy, and…
