Today that translates into some of the highest efficiency solar panels on the market with a life expectancy of over 25 years and new innovations just on the horizon.
Future of solar panel efficiency.
In the immediate future silicon solar cells are likely to continue to decrease in cost and be installed in large numbers.
Most major studies show solar expanding significantly as costs decline and societies use their values to drive their energy choices.
Meanwhile research on alternative designs for more efficient and less expensive solar cells will continue.
Since 2010 he notes the absolute efficiency of the crystal silicon solar panel has gone up about 5 per year and that s pretty consistent.
And it s fundamental to.
All in all the future of solar is bright.
The p ower of r d for any homeowner converting to solar power is a major investment.
This is a major obstacle that solar energy systems must overcome to achieve exponential growth in the energy industry.
Future solar technology modern day solar panels have a maximum efficiency of about 33 meaning that much of the sun s solar radiation goes to waste even under the most ideal circumstances.
