"Solar panel technology has made enormous progress in the last two decades. In
fact, the most advanced silicon solar cells produced today are about as good as
the technology will get.
So what’s next? Enter “tandem solar cells”, the new generation in solar
technology. They can convert a much greater portion of sunlight into
electricity than conventional solar cells.
The technology promises to fast-track the global transition away from polluting
sources of energy generation such as coal and gas. But there’s a major catch.
As our new research shows, current tandem solar cells must be redesigned if
they’re to be manufactured at the scale required to become the climate-saving
technology the planet needs."
