Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'

  It does. Also seems weird nobody thought of a magnifying glass before.

  But its also the beauty in science. Now somebody else thought about it, and they might work harder to fix the next problem: Heat.

  If that gets better now, solar panels will increase in output even more. There are so many technologies going into one product, and each field have its own experts.

  I’m excited.

    They probably did, but like they said, the heating is probably the issue.

    I can see them adding a cooling element. Maybe even water cooling.

      If they could implement water cooling, and then use the heated water in a central heating station for house warming, it would be genius.
