Current commercially available solar panels convert about 20-22% of sunlight into electrical power.
New research published in Nature has shown that future solar panels could reach efficiencies as high as 34% by exploiting a new technology called tandem solar cells.
The higher the efficiency of solar panels, the cheaper the electricity.
While they are still far from 34% efficiencies, their work shows a promising route for next generation solar cells.
Extracting and processing some of the minerals in solar panels can be hugely energy intensive.
The scientific and industrial community remains committed to developing tandem solar devices that could be integrated into almost anything: cars, buildings and planes.
