Scientists just broke the record for the highest efficiency solar cell
A team of researchers at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has created a solar cell with a record efficiency of 39.5 percent under 1-sun global illumination, breaking the world record for solar cell efficiency, according to a recent study published in the journal Joule.
Amazingly, it has the highest efficiency recorded for any type of cell ever measured in real-world conditions.

We need to stop methane and #BuyMoreTime
We'll plant a tree for you
And together we've planted over 150,000 trees. One tree is planted for every climate review written to an organization that is Open for Climate Dialogue™.

Very encouraging! Let's hope science keeps going that way! More efficiency means fewer materials to build it and more energy produced!

That is positive, we need change so desperately. Need all countries to get in board and no more greenwashing or just completely ignoring our situation!

This is such a groundbreaking development.This ingenuity is necessary in engineering tools required to give renewable energy a push in a bid to meet demand efficiently and sufficiently.
