March 19, 20224 yr This is about the near future boys and girls. Not about viability of solar now. So we can all br friends, not argue and be lovey dovey. ❤️ Perovskite is cool. Edited March 19, 20224 yr by martin-w

I will personally take on the role of pseudo-moderator and take away many cat points for misbehaviour. In fact you can take a holiday if you like and leave it in my safe hands. No way will the mischievous among us risk losing cat points. For when felinekind finally take over, they will need those cat points to qualify for "special status".

March 20, 20224 yr Ok, color me "interested". Conventional solar panels are bulky, heavy, and inefficient. This new film holds promise for a thin, lightweight, more efficient system. I'm not anti-solar, I think it has its place in the makeup of energy production. An affordable, efficient, durable, long lasting, solar cell roofing material could provide a good amount of electrical energy.

March 20, 20224 yr Administrators Well, Martin.....I see one by your buddy that was an "almost' and one that you can't see that got removed from sight. I'm not joking either!

The factors you mention are subjective, you mean more affordable, efficient, durable, long lasting. Boosting the efficiency further is a whole new ball game. Due to the Shockley- Queisser limit current cells have a max efficiency of 33.7%. Perovskites can be layered and make use of multiple wavelengths. We are talking about, eventually, at least double the current efficiency Interestingly, the theoretical max from multi junction perovskite cells is 80% plus. Cost and other factors work against you in terms of such extreme multi-layering, but just think of what future innovations might enable.

Their cat points will be deleted ASAP! Edited March 20, 20224 yr by martin-w

There's lots of engineering and science still to be done before they can guarantee the longevity that conventional cells have. 13:19 in video. 40% efficiency is doable but they say greater than that wont be possible for a long time yet. Worth watching the video when you have time. Very interesting.

March 20, 20224 yr I think we can all agree that more money should be spent on solar power and battery research and development.

Don't drink... well, except for when I steal the gin my daughters been gifted by people at wok and put it in my coffee. Then play chess with my gin coffee and sometimes, if I'm naughty, a bar of chocolate. Am I weird? Don't answer that question.
