20times? Lets see if that makes sense: commercial cells convert 16-20 percent of solar energy to electricity. 20 times that would be 320 to 400 percent of the incoming solar energy. Yeah right! And by the way I also believe in santa, tinkerbelle and investing in pyramide schemes.
Jan-Erik Vinje a typical solar cell produces up to 200 watts of electricity from solar energy. 20 times that means these can generate up to 4000 watts from solar energy. you’re calculating the wrong numbers. but nice try there tinkerbelle.
Wasim Muklashy the power figure is meaningless until it is related to another meassure wich will indicate real comparative performance. So if you add twenty cells you get to the same power output. How is the footprint of 20 cells compared to this tech? One way to meassure is performance per m2. How many watts of power does the linked to technology provide per square meter of land?
Jan-Erik Vinje The power figure is meaningless? So it’s meaningless that I can get 4000 watts from these cells rather than 200 watts from a traditional cell? I would argue that that’s the very opposite of meaningless. The comparative performance is a single cell producing 20 times more energy than a cell from before this technology. That’s the very definition of efficiency – dropping or keeping the footprint the same while increasing the output. So even at the same footprint, the efficiency is up 20 times using this technology. Which means that the footprint of 20 cells would be the same or less but it would generate 20 times the energy. So again…efficiency is up. And that would mean that each square meter would be 20 times more efficient than before and that square meter provides 20 times more wattage than the cells not using this technology. If you’re really that interested, feel free to reach out to the company, I’m sure they’d be more than happy to explain it all. Then you can come back and educate us all.
