Flexible solar cells printed like newspapers are revolutionizing solar energy: High efficiency and versatility for diverse applications
Scientists at the City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) have developed highly efficient, printable and stable perovskite solar cells, which represent a significant step towards carbon neutrality and sustainable development.
These solar cells can be mass-produced at a speed comparable to newspaper printing, allowing for a daily output of up to 1,000 solar panels, revolutionizing solar energy.
These integrated cells retain more than 90% of their initial power conversion efficiency (PCE) after 500 hours of operation. A standout feature of these new solar cells is their flexibility and semi-transparency, allowing their use in light-absorbing glass windows

Solar holds a lot of potential. Unfortunately, like hydrogen there was a lot of hype over the years without massive breakthroughs.
They need to get the PV conversion rate up.
Does your house have solar energy, Task?
I think that in the United States this type of market is more accessible.
I don't know if I told you, but my neighbor bought it and they will soon install it in his house.
At least I already have someone to talk to and understand how it works, because I want to be in my house one day.
I also think it has a lot of potential and I think there is some kind of "resistance" or let's say, lack of incentive for more people to join, because of the government here.
Most energy companies are state-owned. I don't know if it's there, but they managed to create a sun tax. LOL
Anyone who wants to have solar energy in their home has an extra tax to pay.
