This potential for a smaller footprint could unlock new, unexpected uses for solar.
LED SCALE-UP
Lighting accounts for nearly 6% of global CO2 greenhouse gas emissions. Light emitting diode (LED) technology is capable of achieving up to 50-70% energy savings. Wider adoption of such energy efficient lighting can provide a significant reduction in global emissions.
THIN, FLEXIBLE NEW SOLAR CELLS COULD SOON LINE YOUR SHIRT
A new kind of solar cell called a perovskite is improving rapidly, bringing the prospect of solar-powered vehicles, clothing, and windows closer to reality.
