New experimental work could push solar cell efficiency closer to limits

Researchers report experimental progress on narrowing the emission cone of solar cells to better match the absorption cone of incoming sunlight. The finding suggests that, in principle, solar cells could approach higher efficiencies if this matching is achieved, a step with implications for photovoltaic research and future solar panel performance.
Why now: The claim of experimentally demonstrating a path toward higher solar cell efficiency is notable to climate and technology audiences.
