New approach could push solar cells to 43% efficiency
Original: Solar panel researchers say cells could hit 43% efficiency by using this new approach to reducing infrared glow
Solar panel researchers say photovoltaic cells could reach 43% efficiency by curbing infrared glow, the heat radiation that normally drains energy from solar cells. The claim points to a new method of reducing that loss, which would represent a significant gain over typical commercial panel efficiency and could make solar power considerably more productive if the approach proves workable outside the lab.
Why now: A claimed leap in solar efficiency would be a major development for renewable energy, drawing wide attention.
