"SYDNEY and SINGAPORE — The future of clean energy likely will include
mesmerizing breakthrough technologies like fusion energy, heat pulled from near
the center of the Earth and clean hydrogen. But the unsurpassed workhorse of
clean energy for the past decade — solar power — has major advances of its own
in store, experts say.
Given the astonishing more than 90% decline in the cost of solar power over the
past decade, it’s easy to view the technology as fairly mature and surmise only
small improvements are possible going forward. But visits to two world-class
solar research centers — one at the University of New South Wales in Sydney,
Australia and the other at the National University of Singapore — showed the
future potential of solar is at least as potent as what has already been
stunningly accomplished.
“Everything has happened more quickly than even the wildest optimists
predicted, and I think that’s going to continue,” Martin Green, who founded the
Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics, told me as we strolled through a
capacious, two-story laboratory featuring a huge array of equipment he and his
students use to come up with and test solar panel variations."
