Is solar technology a viable technology?

Some new technologies are many years (if not decades) away from being viable, while others are not likely to ever come to fruition. The world already has amazing, high-efficiency solar technology that is revolutionizing the way we generate and use electricity.

What technology affects solar installers' day-to-day life the most?

On the ground, perhaps the technology that affects solar installers’ day-to-day life the most is the solar sales and design software you use. All the best solar technology is meaningless without a way to sell and scale it. The pace of innovation in solar software is incredibly fast.

What solar technologies will we see in 2022?

Here are some solar technologies in 2022 that we’re keeping an eye on. Perovskite cells are flexible, lightweight, and low-cost solar cells made using perovskite and organic materials. Perovskite cells hold promise to enhance photovoltaic deployment in a wide range of applications, such as powering vehicles and boats.

Is the solar industry a race to high efficiency?

The solar industry is also part of the race to high efficiency. Chinese company LONGi, the world’s biggest producer of solar cells, announced in June they had reached 33.5% in their research. “Reducing the cost of electricity remains the perpetual theme driving the development of the photovoltaic industry,” said Li Zhenguo, the president of LONGi.
