This Material Could Kill Silicon Solar Panels

[00:00:00]Silicon dominated solar for decades, and something else is catching up.

[00:00:03]Perovskite crystals convert [music] sunlight with efficiencies now exceeding 25% matching silicon at a fraction of the manufacturing cost. They can be printed like ink onto flexible surfaces.

[00:00:14]The problem, stability. Moisture and heat degrade them fast. But tandem cells stacking perovskite on silicon are already hitting 33% efficiency in the lab.
