Ah, nice graph! Thanks for posting!
I was unaware about the steady progress. Still far away from the 90+% thermal efficiency that is possible with solar heating.
My hopes on photovoltaics are on the relatively new contender Perovskite. Really nice to see the steep progress in efficiency there.
- imaginenore 12y agoThe theoretical limit for solar cells is much lower than 100%: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley%E2%80%93Queisser_limit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley%E2%80%93Queisser_limit
