Goodbye to the idea that solar panels “die” after 25 years. A new study says the warranty does not mark the end, and real-world performance can last for decades

Let me know when solar efficiency is significantly higher.

Why does it matter?

I wanna power an entire city with a panel the size of a postsge stamp.

The maximum amount of solar energy that reaches the ground is about 1000w per square meter.
Unless you circumvent the laws of physics to get like 10,000% efficiency there are no cities, towns, villages, or otherwise that are going to run off a postage stamp sized solar panel

you can actually do this if you use the postage stamp to reduce the energy consumption of the city to zero

Why does it matter having solar panels that are above 25% efficiency?
Gee… dunno, really.
