New Graphene 'Wonder Material' Breakthrough Enables Doubling of Solar Panel Efficiency

New Graphene 'Wonder Material' Breakthrough Enables Doubling of Solar Panel Efficiency


One of the major reasons that solar panels are facing such hurdles to replace conventional electricity sources is because they are very inefficient. The most efficient (and most expensive) panel is currently somewhere around 32 percent efficiency. However, scientists in Switzerland have figured out a way to utilize Graphene in solar panel design, raising its efficiency to an absolutely staggering 60% – a finally feasible amount.
