New Solar Cell Design Solves A Problem That's Plagued Panels for Decades

AI Summary

A new solar cell design addresses long-standing issues that have hindered solar panel efficiency. Solar energy continues to be the cheapest and fastest growing form of new energy capacity globally, despite challenges such as tariff impacts in the United States.

Solar power is far and away the cheapest form of new energy to install in nearly every context around the world. Even in the United States, where the cost of solar additions has jumped up 18 percent since Trump’s tariffs took hold, solar remains the most affordable option for energy capacity expansion. It stands to reason that solar is therefore the fastest growing form of energy in the world, However, as the solar sector has gone gangbusters, profitability has been squeezed thanks to an increasingly competitive market.
