Solar Panel Breakthrough , Could Make Renewable Energy , More Commercially Viable.<br/>'The Independent' reports that a new<br/>'miracle material' is behind a mass produced <br/>solar panel with significantly increased efficiency. .<br/>Perovskite has the potential to revolutionize the renewable energy <br/>industry, however, its transition to commercial applications <br/>has been hampered by durability and reliability issues.<br/>A team led by Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of <br/>Technology believes the vacuum process could allow <br/>next-gen solar panels to become viable in the commercial market.<br/>Vacuum-based processes <br/>have proven themselves in<br/>industry for many decades, Ulrich W. Paetzold, Professor at the Institute of Microstructure Technology and Light Technology Institute at KIT, via 'The Independent'.<br/>Although they can decisively <br/>advance the commercialization <br/>of solar cells, they are heavily <br/>underrepresented, Ulrich W. Paetzold, Professor at the Institute of Microstructure Technology and Light Technology Institute at KIT, via 'The Independent'.<br/>'The Independent' reports that solar cells made with a <br/>combination of silicon and perovskite have been shown <br/>to generate more energy than traditional silicon cells.<br/>'The Independent' reports that solar cells made with a <br/>combination of silicon and perovskite have been shown <br/>to generate more energy than traditional silicon cells.<br/>According to Chinese solar technology firm Longi, <br/>their silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell is nearly <br/>30% more efficient than the best silicon cells.<br/>Another startup in China claimed to have reached a <br/>silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell breakthrough that <br/>would allow them to begin mass production in 2023.<br/>Another startup in China claimed to have reached a <br/>silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell breakthrough that <br/>would allow them to begin mass production in 2023.<br/>At the same time, UK startup Oxford PV has also <br/>announced plans to make the perovskite tandem cells <br/>available commercially with a production facility in Germany. .<br/>At the same time, UK startup Oxford PV has also <br/>announced plans to make the perovskite tandem cells <br/>available commercially with a production facility in Germany. .<br/>Details of the latest breakthrough in this <br/>next-gen technology were published in the <br/>journal 'Energy & Environmental Science.'
