under the radar. Japan''s new solar panel technology might forever alter the renewables market. All thanks to perovskite solar panel technology. Perovskite panels are thin and flexible. (Image
Solar Panel Efficiency explained. Solar panel efficiency is the amount of sunlight (irradiance) that falls on the surface of a solar panel and is converted into electricity. Due to the many advances in photovoltaic technology over recent years, the average panel conversion efficiency has increased from 15% to over 23%. This
This new technology isn''t available for consumer photovoltaic installations for a number of reasons, but that doesn''t mean we don''t continue to make great strides in solar panel efficiency. The most efficient panels available to consumers are pushing 23% efficiency now, compared to about 15% just 10 years ago. Even incremental gains mean
