Improvements to solar technology are growing at lightning speed.

The International Energy Agency predicted it might well be the most promising and largest

source of electricity on the globe by 2050.

There’s some exciting news out of Cambridge University regarding a groundbreaking approach

to cranking up the efficiency of solar cells.

Researchers and scientists predict this new method ‘could smash the solar efficiency ceiling.’

The new breed of solar cells consists of both organic and inorganic properties.

Typically, the majority of solar cells are constructed from inorganic silicon semiconductors.

Typically, the majority of solar cells are constructed from inorganic silicon semiconductors.

These fall short of the efficiency of organic semiconductors.

Organic pentacene provides the output of two electrons, doubling the production of the semiconductor.

Solar Energy efficiency has grown steadily over the past years, and is expected to continue, all the way to 95%

There is no such thing as power to spare in our world today. A recent heatwave in Los Angeles amped up demand for electricity so high that blackouts were experienced all over the city.

Solar Power is Important, even more important than most voters know.
