Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'

  • "The lens makes it different from standard solar panels that convert sunlight to energy with average efficiency rates around 20%, per MarketWatch. Fraunhofer's improved CPV cell has an astounding 36% rate in ideal conditions"

    Why would I want to compare one panel's average efficiency to another panels efficiency in ideal conditions?

  • Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra. It's just fast. A joy to use. I had been using a $200 phone from another manufacturer.

    Bought it refurb from Amazon for a little over $400.

    The phone is such an important part of my life. It pays to spend a little extra.
