- selimthegrim 10y agoWhat do you want to know about the last three?
- TeMPOraL 10y agoNot the OP, but I'd love to know everything about the last one.
- cowardlydragon 10y agofrom wiki: Perovskite materials such as methylammonium lead halides are cheap to produce and simple to manufacture. Solar cell efficiencies of devices using these materials have increased from 3.8% in 2009 to 22.1% in early 2016,[3] making this the fastest-advancing solar technology to date --------------- 22% efficiency and cheap materials?
- selimthegrim 10y agoThose lead halide cells have some robustness issues last I heard.
- cheriot 10y agoHow far along are they? Are there companies already making products with any of these? I love reading about experiment results, but it's hard to tell how preliminary the technology is.
