So, how does that compare to silicon panels? And maybe it is worth it if they are easier, cheaper or more environmentally friendly to produce?
I think that’s the big idea with perovskites. You can potentially make them with basic chemistry instead of vacuums and furnaces like silicon panels. It’s a bit of a pipe dream at this point to have ones that are comparable to silicon in long-term performance, but if you can print them like newspaper maybe that doesn’t matter.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
