minus-square Big P ( @peter@feddit.uk ) linkfedilink1•1 year agoI’m surprised that regular solar panels are only around 20% efficient. I hope eventually we’ll see much higher efficiency solar panels become available
minus-square cosmic_skillet ( @cosmic_skillet@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilink1•1 year agoBut why are you surprised? What’s driving your intuition to expect it to be higher?
