Today I am adding more solar panels to my boat. But in view of this new breakthrough advancement in solar cell technology I may wait for these more efficient solar panels to come on the market before adding rooftop solar to my passive solar heated home. I had been planning to add rooftop solar this Fall. My passive solar Trombe Wall has saved me thousands of dollars over the 30 years since I built my home, helping me to pay off my mortgage.
From the Guardian:
‘Revolutionary’ solar power cell innovations break key energy threshold Next generation cells surpass limits of today’s cells and will accelerate rollout of cheaper, more efficient solar power By Damian Carrington Solar power cells have raced past the key milestone of 30% energy efficiency, after innovations by multiple research groups around the world. The feat makes this a “revolutionary” year, according to one expert, and could accelerate the rollout of solar power. Today’s solar panels use silicon-based cells but are rapidly approaching their maximum conversion of sunlight to electricity of 29%.
