Solar panel energy production is their efficiency in converting solar radiation into electricity.
So yes, they seem to be 20% more efficient in converting solar radiation into electricity.
Though I have to say that this is an iterative upgrade, not groundbreaking. If they increased their efficiency by 20% in absolute terms - that would be groundbreaking.
- dambi0 2y agoIt’s one measure of their efficiency. We could also talk about their cost efficiency or their area efficiency.
- JAlexoid 2y agoSolar panel efficiency is already based on the area, just as solar radiation is measured in W per square meters.
- dambi0 2y agoInteresting thanks. So could you have a panel that is slightly more efficient in energy capture than the current best alternative but uses 20% less panel area? I’m entirely unfamiliar with how testing is performed
