Initial tests indicate an efficiency rate of over 28%, a substantial improvement from the average 22% seen in most commercial panels today. This advancement could dramatically reduce the cost of solar energy for both residential and industrial applications.

Key Advantages of the New Technology:

  • Higher energy output per square meter.
  • Reduced manufacturing costs by an estimated 30%.
  • Improved performance in low-light conditions.
  • Longer operational lifespan due to enhanced material stability.

The consortium’s lead laboratory confirmed that pilot production is scheduled to begin next year. If successful, the technology could be available for large-scale commercial projects within three to five years, potentially accelerating the global transition to clean energy.
