this part of the article seems very promising:

“The nanostructured metal film is also promising for silicon solar panels
that now dominate the market. Because the PlaCSH sandwich captures
light independent of what electricity-generating material is used as the
middle layer, it should boost efficiency of silicon panels as well. It
also can reduce the thickness of the silicon used in traditional silicon
solar panels by a thousand-fold, which could substantially decrease
manufacturing costs and allow the panels to become more flexible.”

ok so on cloudy day’s it gives an 175% extra and on sunny day’s 81%.

that will be on average between 81% and 175% depending on your location.

will this increase be added to the current panels? like the 19% efficient ones on the market? and will these go to an efficiency of 34% up to 52%??

and what will the extra cost be?

“more than triples the efficiency of organic solar cells”….
“leading to the 175 percent total increase.”

That would mean 2.75 times times the efficiency. NOT more than 3.

usually,how much time does it take to be commercialized?

“WOW” can”t wait to drive my new solar car. no more gas. at last the earth can come back to LIFE?
