Heat is the enemy of today’s solar panels.
. . . If they get too hot,
. . . their efficiency plummets.
Scientists at Rice University are turning heat into light,
. . . which can then be used to make electricity.
They say their research could ultimately lead to solar panels that are 80% efficient.
. . . That would make panels that are 4 times more efficient,
. . . than any commercially available panels today.
