Perovskite Solar Panels - Reinventing Clean Energy

Imagine slashing your electricity bills in half while using a greener energy source. 

Today's episode is about perovskite, a material that offers a 50% higher efficiency rate than silicon.

Let’s dive into how this ‘miracle material’ is set to change the game.

A Chinese startup called Renshine Solar is ready to start the commercialisation of perovskite solar panels, after researchers from Nanjing University in China, made the mass production of these panels possible. Professor Tan Hairen, creator of Renshine Solar, said that the raw materials used to make perovskite are cheap and abundant, while costing just one-twentieth of traditional PV modules. 

The advent of perovskite solar panels happened just in time, as we are on the brink of an energy revolution. Their promising efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and versatility, are laying the foundation for the next generation of photovoltaic modules, and a global solar power boom. However, as with any emerging technology, we must watch with a critical eye. How long do perovskite solar panels last? What are their limitations and disadvantages? Can they be recycled with minimal waste?
