Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have discovered a new method to increase the efficiency of solar cells by a factor of 1,000. The team of scientists achieved this breakthrough by creating crystalline layers of barium titanate, strontium titanate, and calcium titanate, which were alternately placed on top of one another in a lattice structure.
Considering current panels are at about 30% efficient, these new ones would be 30 000% efficient, putting out 300 times more energy than they absorb.
Well, you obviously aren't factoring in their endothermic effect. These panels work as great refrigerators as well. Stience.
Ugh, in addition of removing snow in the winter off the panels, I now have to scrape off ice in the summer.
