Instead of electrical or equivalent power efficiency numbers I would like to see benchmarks in terms of $ per KwH after installation. Or in other terms what would be the current sunk cost to get to 40% efficiency.
I mean no disrespect to the scientists and engineers that are working on solar efficiency. They are doing amazing work. I think journalists are seizing headlines for sensational value (i.e. ad revenue) and not doing worthy research.
- Retric 12y agoThere is no way to actually calculate that based on lab results. So, it would just end up as a question of who was willing to fudge the numbers more.
- illumen 12y agoYour way makes just as little sense. If you have a high value space in Tokyo for example, then you want to make the best use of that space. If you have plenty of room, then you care about cost of the install more. Secondly, this is research technology, not mass production technology. You can't look at the money component of it, because it's not for sale. Not in that manner anyway.
