There are challenges in making this a reality, however: affordability first, and finding a way to capture this energy efficiently to turn it into electricity. Recently, a new material known as perovskite has seen the light of day and within just a few years it has started rivaling the efficiency of traditional photovoltaic solar cells, …
…In a very short time, perovskite has begun to produce extremely high efficiencies and there’s ‘perovskite fever’ going on,…
