I knew I’d heard something about researchers developing new solar cells which will triple the output efficiency of solar panels. When I go online to research this…NOTHING since the initial discovery at Berkely in 2002. Did some oil company gobble it up?

Howdy,
I’m not sure, this is the first I’ve heard of such a break through. Chances are it didn’t work out -or- if it was a truly viable product, an energy company “invested” in the project and then shut it down for one reason or another.
LuLu, not sure that I like your opinion of our commander and chief but dang… You are a hottie!
LOL, watch me get lots of thumbs down for hitting on a previous poster when I’m supposed to be answering a question.
Some of the answers and your reference to oil companies are silly. There are and have been for many years literally thousands of engineers and scientists all over the world working on better ways to get power from the sun.
Billions and billions have been spent by the government, utility companies, Universities, and private firms. hey have improved, but not anywhere near the levels you mention.
It has to do with physics and chemistry, not some stupid plot. There are millions of investors out there that would love to invest in efficient panels because they could get rich easily.
