New crystal seeding method boosts perovskite #solar cell efficiency to 23%

Inverted perovskite solar cells offer strong potential for scalable, low-cost solar power, but a hidden interface inside the device has limited their performance and durability. Researchers have now introduced crystal-solvate nanoseeds that guide crystal growth and release solvent in a controlled way during heating, improving film quality at this buried layer. The result is smoother, denser material with better electronic properties and stability. A l...

(A few months ago, someone said they got panels to 30%, does this mean 33%? When will we start seeing it for public? Still waiting...)

'Appeal to MAGA': Industry Trump denigrates makes inroads with top aide's influencer wife

Katie Miller, the podcaster and wife of White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller, has taken a sudden interest in #solar energy. Many observers are wondering why, with the specter of paid shilling looming.. A confidential strategy memo obtained by Politico raises that possibility. There is a campaign underway by members of the renewable energy lobby group to "MAGA-fy solar power," as the publication terms the bolstering trend.
