Oxford PV says it has set a new world record for most efficient solar panel, produced in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems. 

The panel achieved a 25% conversion efficiency, an increase from the more typical 24% efficiency of commercial modules, the company added.

Oxford PV, a spin-out of the University of Oxford, is developing perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cells, which have a theoretical maximum efficiency of more than 43%.

“Our record-breaking solar panels demonstrate that we are on the cusp of the next solar revolution, which will be delivered, in part, by our tandem cell technology,” says Chris Case, Oxford PV CTO.

“Solar energy is currently among the most cost-effective and sustainable energy sources. Our continuous advancements in technology will further enhance module efficiency, producing more electricity from the same area, and extending their use to all market sectors from residential, commercial through to utility scale.”

Trump’s Bromance with Putin

Published

on

It’s actually surprising that it took so long for Trump to favor Putin in Russia’s war with Ukraine.

Trump loves all the things that Putin stands for: brutality against dissidents, defying the law, war crimes, lies, and fascism.

If it were possible, Trump would enjoy the same absolute power that Putin has, and Kim Jong Un has in North Korea.

When it Comes to Atrocities, Timing Is Everything

To his credit, Trump is astute when it comes to the timing of his atrocities.  Had he abandoned Ukraine in favor of Putin’s Russia too early, the American people would have been outraged.

Now, after Iran, detention centers, gas prices, farm failures, killing clean energy, years of support for white nationalism, gutting U.S. education, and so forth, Trump’s backing Russia seems perfectly normal.

California’s Gubernatorial Race

Published

on

Bercerra comes with some baggage, but at least he’s not endorsed by Trump.

The bulk of California’s population lives on or near the Pacific Coast, and consists of affluent and well-educated people who want to see Trump removed, convicted, and incarcerated.  Yes, the inland folks are largely farmers, but their numbers are far too small to elect a Republican in the GOP of today, with this corruption, ignorance, racism, and cruelty.
