Wow 29%, amazing....You should go out and buy a 100 of them. Then you would be at 29% output.This is an early article concerning research on the perovskite solar cells. It is relevant to the present, in that it is a printable, therefore, far cheaper than present methods of creating solar cells. Some of todays perovskite cells have reached efficiencies of 29%.
"A gas-fired plant was about 42% efficient. And in natural gas combined-cycle power plants—in which waste heat from a natural gas turbine is used to power a steam turbine—generation may be as much as 60% efficient."Wow 29%, amazing....You should go out and buy a 100 of them. Then you would be at 29% output.
Of course if you use natural gas, you can achieve 100% output...I think i will stick with NG for a while longer.
How long is the life of these panels, the cost, and the cost to replace?"A gas-fired plant was about 42% efficient. And in natural gas combined-cycle power plants—in which waste heat from a natural gas turbine is used to power a steam turbine—generation may be as much as 60% efficient."
The National Academies presents: What You Need to Know About Energy
Want to understand the basics of America's current energy situation? The National Academies, advisers to the nation on science, engineering, and medicine, provides objective information about the United States' current energy sources and uses, as well as a look forward to the future of energy.needtoknow.nas.edu
Nothing achieves 100% efficiency. And natural gas requires pipelines, and wells, as well as fracking. Solar requires panels and a grid. And it is very scalable. And once the panels are installed, the energy is free.
60%, not 100.Wow 29%, amazing....You should go out and buy a 100 of them. Then you would be at 29% output.

Where we are at present with Perovskite. Problems remain, but the future looks very promising;
Do you think that solar energy will work well in upper Canada north of the arctic circle during the winter periods?And what does research into creating more efficient solar panels using various material like perovskite have to do with cold winters?
Spent some time in Yellowknife in July, 1975. 22 hrs of sunlight, a couple of hours of twilight. Solar won't work in the winter, so they will use power off the grid generated by hydro and wind. Really, you guys are so blinded by the fact that solar and wind are going to put fossil fuels out of business that you cannot see the obvious.Do you think that solar energy will work well in upper Canada north of the arctic circle during the winter periods?
They are not building commercial perovskite systems, and never will if they do not solve those problems. However, people like you said EV's were impossible because they could never build a battery with high enough energy density, now they are building them by the gigawatt. And perovskite is just one of the new materials that they are working on in the lab to create a high efficiency even less costly solar panel. Nanotubes are another promising avenue.These types of solar panels are disposable...they are somewhat cheap to make and they have to be replaced often...filling the landfills. The best is a 2 year lifespan. The electrical contacts for each transistor has to be gold because of the non-reactivity... which cannot be achieved by electroplating means due to residues of chemicals... driving up the cost.
Meaning that it's literally a gold plated system you throw away every year because it stops working.
Kinda like those harbor freight battery tools... you get one use out of them but then they begin to smoke and not work anymore.
This junk is relegated to the laboratory still...it isn't fit to come out yet.
Just like hydrogen fuel cell technology...works great in the lab but contaminants in fuels destroy the cell. And currently these technologies are over 20-40 years old...if they could find a way they would have.
It's got a LONG way to go before we will actually see it happen...if ever.
No... never said the things you are claiming.They are not building commercial perovskite systems, and never will if they do not solve those problems. However, people like you said EV's were impossible because they could never build a battery with high enough energy density, now they are building them by the gigawatt.

The more solar radiation that is converted into electricity the less solar radiation there is to heat the surface of the planet.And what does research into creating more efficient solar panels using various material like perovskite have to do with cold winters?
The FLoT agrees with me.Well, I am sure Toob Freak agrees with you.
This is an early article concerning research on the perovskite solar cells.
THat has to be one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time....thanks for the laugh.The more solar radiation that is converted into electricity the less solar radiation there is to heat the surface of the planet.
Why is that? You think all electricity that is used heats the planet? There's a couple of problems with that.THat has to be one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time....thanks for the laugh.
