Scientists have come up with a composite material that can boost the efficiency of solar panels to previously unseen levels. They’ve also realised how to best utilise certain colours in the light spectrum to get the optimum output from solar cells.
In 10 seconds? Researchers have combined perovskite compounds with traditional silicon in solar cells to harvest more energy from sunlight than ever before. By using multiple materials, they’ve improved the absorption from certain colours and thus enhanced the power output of the solar panels.
