Most solar panels are ~20% efficient. So (100-20)/1000=0.08%, 100-0.08=99.92% efficient (1000x less energy loss) (you could do it the other way, but that would make less sense)
Comment on Breakthrough barium titanate solar panels are 1000x more powerful than existing panels
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoImpossible to be literally true, so quite literally “incredible” if 1000x or 1000%. The sun doesn’t emit that much energy more than current solar panels can manage.

Yeah, a kilowatt per square meter (perpendicular to the sun angle). We only need something like 5 times for 100% efficiency
The article must be either entirely bullshit or using an odd baseline to raise a thousand times
