Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 8, 2018 Scientists are researching a new crystal which could be the answer for cheaper solar power than currently used silicon. Research is going into the qualities of perovskite cells and it could reduce costs to pennies per watt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP January 8, 2018 I've read perovskites are particularly capable to absorb light, much more than other materials. Does anyone know why this crystal isn't already used for solar power? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV January 8, 2018 I assume it's because this crystal dissolve easily so it could be a problem when it's used in humid conditions. Silicon is still more stable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
