- dmichulke 10y agoTLDR; HOIPs could lead to a doubling in solar cell efficiency [to 50%] (Yes, you find the most tangible quote is actually in an image) Apart from that they speak of lower costs without any numbers attached.
- SigmundA 10y agoHow can an article talk about more efficient solar cells and not even mention in passing technology already available such as triple junction gallium arsenide? I mean the mars rovers are using 30+% efficient cells NOW. The cost are much higher than silicon, but this is working producible technology that we just need to figure out how to lower costs of.
