New record in efficiency in solar panels.

Energy, Energy, we need more energy, but how to do it without having to destroy our planet, one of the alternatives is solar energy, a source of clean energy that can be useful to us both on earth and off it and in Germany the Helmholtz researchers Zentrum in Berlin have achieved a new world record for efficiency because their photovoltaic cells that you are seeing in the image of perovskite-crystalline silicon have reached 33.9 percent efficiency or what is the same as the capacity to convert sunlight into electricity .

They have also achieved something very interesting, manufacturing these new cells is cheaper than the previous ones, there is a technological race to produce cheap and increasingly efficient solar cells, look at how close the competition is and in 2021 the record was held by these German researchers but in the summer of 2022 they were surpassed by solar cells created by the EPFL school in Lausanne in Switzerland.

The Germans regained their lead in April 2023 but the KAUST photovoltaic laboratory in Saudi Arabia overtook them the following month, now the Germans have created even better solar cells and are once again regaining the lead in this technological race and all this is not a simple competition to win medals.

Whoever wins the race gets the best of the solar cell manufacturing market, which is estimated to reach $6,411 million in 2030 according to the consulting firm Aliad Marac. Who will win the race, who will get the cell market.
