Share ; Solar PV capacity is growing rapidly across the United States (and elsewhere). In the last decade alone the market for solar has grown by 24 percent each year, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). Across the US, there’s already 149 gigawatts of solar capacity installed, which could theoretically power 26 million homes. The future seems bright too, as SEIA and Wood Mackenzie predict that the solar market will triple in size in five years, bringing capacity up to ...
Silicon solar cells can last for decades. Few perovskite tandem panels have even been tested outside. The electrochemical makeup of perovskites means they’re sensitive to sucking up water...
The most efficient solar panels can convert nearly 23% of sunlight into usable electricity. Read on to learn more about solar panel efficiency.
Within those averages, you'll find solar panels with a range of efficiency ratings. It might not surprise you that you'll usually pay more for solar panels with greater efficiency. SunPower, one of the better-known solar panel brands, offers the most efficient and most expensiv ...
It’s a good question. You’re putting down a lot of money up front to install these panels, so you want to get your money’s worth.

46% efficient solar cells by Soitec & Fraunhofer Institute. Notably, these world-leading solar cells from Soitec and Fraunhofer Institute are in the concentrator triple-junction solar cell category. Such solar cells are complicated and are not used in residential or commercial applications… because they are bloody expensive. They are used in space applications by the likes of NASA, where a bit of extra space (or, as it may be, less space via extra efficiency) can make a huge difference. ...
