Sounds like an arms race to me. In any case, the solar cells should still be visible.

- dotancohen 1y agoI had no idea, thank you! Such cells would be half as efficient I suppose, so would need to be twice as large and probably at least twice as heavy. I wonder how that might affect design and payload constraints as it scales.
