Hmm, why do I know this word "perovskite". Wikipedia gives me no clues, just some mineral.

- Liftyee 1y agoPossible source: Solar panels with this material were hyped a couple years ago.
- xnx 1y agoAh, that's what it was for me. Roll-to-roll fabricated perovskite solar cells under ambient room conditions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39998740 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39998740
- MobiusHorizons 1y agoPerovskite solar cells, ah yes, the ones that degrade rapidly in sunlight. Good thing they are typically safely tucked away in labs with controlled lighting.
- legacynl 1y agoIdk what you're trying to say. Every technology starts in a lab. Perhaps the degradation problem is solvable?
- akamaka 1y agoIt’s just a mindless comment by someone who doesn’t keep up with the latest developments. Perovskites already entered small scale commercial production last year and are being deployed in the field to validate how well they hold up in real-world conditions, so it seems we’re only one step away from large-scale deployment.

- kajecounterhack 1y agoThey are used in thin-film solar panel development. Not sure anyone has cracked the big problem with them, which is durability.
