LONGi Green Energy Technology Co. Ltd. says it has set a new world record of 33.9% for the efficiency of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) certified the results.

It is reported that the previous world record was 33.7% and conducted by King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) in May this year.

The new record efficiency of 33.9% has surpassed the Shockley-Quieser (S-Q) theoretical efficiency limit of 33.7% of single junction solar cells for the first time. This provides meaningful empirical data to demonstrate the advantages of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells over crystalline silicon single junction solar cells in terms of efficiency.

LONGi says the new world record is the first time that a Chinese company has achieved the feat since the efficiency record of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells began being tracked in 2015.

Big Money Still Controls Planet’s Energy

When I was in college in the 1970s, I recall hearing people say, “We’ll have solar energy when the Rockefellers own the sun.”

Nothing’s changed too much in half a century.

Even Trump’s Endorsement Can’t Ruin This Guy’s Chances in His Race for Office

It’s hard to imagine how certain politicians can lose in the 2026 midterms, even with “the kiss of death” (Trump’s endorsement).

This guy’s district in Texas is largely the panhandle, far from the more educated and sophisticated parts of the state in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.

He’s a physician and retired admiral.

If for some horrible reason I lived in a town in that district, perhaps called Buzzardsbreath, TX, I would probably vote for him myself, even with Trump’s endorsement.

A Metaphor on the Natural Forces that Support Human Life on Earth

I met a guy yesterday you told me, “We live on this planet at the generosity of the forces of nature.  These privileges can be withdrawn at any time, and without notice.”

I thought that was clever.
