Dominic Buergi discusses exactly how, versus all probabilities, a fully working solar system has been set up in the Antarctic

A German research study team has developed a tandem solar cell that gets to 24 percent efficiency-- measured according to the fraction of photons exchanged electricity (i.e., electrons).

Another study has highlighted the advantages of combining solar with agriculture. According to the paper, growing chiltepin pepper, jalapeno and cherry tomato in dryland areas of the U.S. under the shade of PV modules is not only possible, but can lead to a better harvest.

Solar cells have actually come a long way, however affordable, thin film solar cells are still far behind extra pricey, crystalline solar cells in performance. Now, a team of scientists recommends that utilizing 2 thin films of different products may be the way to head to develop budget friendly, slim film cells with around 34% effectiveness.
