Breakthrough in Solar Panels Boosts Efficiency

Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough using a so-called ‘miracle material’ to boost the efficiency of solar panels...

Perovskite in tandem solar cells is able to optimise electricity generation from the Sun’s energy by capturing more of the spectrum...

The current efficiency record for this next-generation solar cell is 33.7 per cent...

Last month, a startup in China announced that it planned to begin production of tandem solar cells...

The scientists behind the latest research believe their approach could ultimately achieve an efficiency rate 'well above 35 per cent'...

The research was detailed in two separate papers published in the journal Science.
