Efficiency is really not that important in non space applications. Better to have 2 18% panes than 1 24% and the 18% ones are so cheap right now it’s impossible

- dralley 2y agoIt matters if you have limited space.
- nothercastle 2y agoWhich is rarely an issue in commercial wind farms
- dukeyukey 2y agoBut it is an issue in the space-and-sunlight constrained UK, where the sunniest land is also the most populated, and populated by a very development-suspicious population.
- nothercastle 2y agoIt basically never makes sense to put pannels in those areas except for virtue signaling. 24% efficient panels would cost more than their lifetime earnings because the volume is too low and mfg process too complicated and can’t compete with good enough 18% panels that are used in most applications
