Breakthrough efficiency of 21.68% in semi-transparent perovskite solar cells by Korea Institute of Energy Research. Key step towards carbon neutrality by 2050.

Perovskites are hybrid substances made from steel halides and organic components. They show excellent potential in a series of applications, e.g. LED lights, lasers, as well as photodetectors, yet their major payment remains in solar cells, where they are poised to surpass the market from their silicon equivalents.

Solar waste is not yet a visible concern, however will certainly turn into one soon, if recycling as well as disposal is not prioritised quickly. Pending a recycling policy, the government can a minimum of make sure excellent quality requirements so that the equipment does not reach end of life before its guaranteed date/s.
