Looks like some #advances are being made in the #production of #solarpanels by reducing #material #costs - which is a saving that can hopefully be passed onto the #customer https://hackaday.com/2021/11/06/solar-ce..
Huh, turns out that #solarpanels have been less efficient due to a #patent preventing the use of #gallium - meaning that #boron was used instead: https://theconversation.com/the-sunlight.. Apparently the gallium #doping can increase #longevity and the #voltage is higher!
