- 1UK study finds silicon solar cells could slash satellite power costs●UK study says silicon solar cells could cut satellite power costs by up to 90%
A UK study has found that silicon solar cells, a cheaper and more mature technology than the specialist cells currently used in space, could reduce satellite power costs by up to 90%. The finding points to silicon as a viable alternative for powering satellites, potentially lowering the cost of space missions.
