Researchers created a groundbreaking solar panel system that could increase the total amount of clean energy solar panels can generate.
Solar energy is a promising energy source that is significantly cleaner than traditional dirty fuels. However, current solar panels often require high-temperature manufacturing processes that generate significant amounts of carbon. On top of that, traditional solar panels absorb only small portions of infrared and ultraviolet light, meaning chunks of sunlight don’t get converted into usable energy.
Researchers created a new solar panel system to address these challenges. In a recent study published in Nature, a team of scientists combined perovskite and organic solar cells, two emerging solar technologies, to create what they call a “tandem solar cell” that can absorb a wide spectrum of sunlight.
