A group of materials called perovskites are being used to create the next generation of solar panels, which could eventually be twice as efficient as current models, and flexible enough to wrap around entire buildings.

Oxford, UK Solar energy is poised for what could be its biggest transformation in over half a century.

The first solar cell capable of powering everyday electrical equipment was made in the 1950s at Bell Labs in New Jersey. Back then the silicon-based panels were hugely expensive and converted just 6% of sunlight into electricity. Since then, costs have come down dramatically and today's silicon solar cells can turn up to 22% of sunlight into power. But they're nearly maxed out in terms of efficiency.

Hide Caption 4 of 10 Photos: As the technology develops, perovskite could be printed onto flexible rolls, and wrapped around buildings. Hide Caption 5 of 10 Photos: Saule predicts that perovskite solar cells could eventually be integrated into street furniture, where they could power street lights and charge electronic devices.

Lol cnn is covering potential solar power upgrades on the eve of the US election 😂

Getting energy isn't the problem. Storing energy is the problem.

Private sector affordability for this would be stupendous. Stop selling out to the industry giants who promulgate private homes w/constant multiple demands for purchase. They take advantage and hunger for money the homeowner could make themselves. The way industry gouges family.

I want it.

Good. Because current solar and wind models aren't good for mental health. I still think clean, improved nuclear is the future

We need solar vehicles 🚗 2030, Tesla greatest innovation but ugly cars designs af, look like flies without wings.

elonmusk hey bro, are you following these developments?

What a great change

Omg the picture freaked me out. All I saw was “perovskites” and people wearing protective equipment. I thought it had something to do with the virus🤣

Oh cool! Buildings looking like a fucking mirror 🤣😂🤣 how retarded, oh wait, CNN did report this 🤣
