I understand some people are working on panels that will also convert some of the heat to photons to produce additional electric power. May never happen or could be 10+ years out. But still, people are working on many areas of improvement.
Yeah, using the heat is certainly a step in the right direction. I hope/trust that intensive solar panel research is going on to get panel efficiencies way above their current low levels.
Don't green plants convert the sun's energy at an efficiency rate above 90% when they're growing?
I can only dream of covering my RV's roof with panels that are - say - 70% efficient. Wow!!! I might even consider selling my Onan with that kind of setup.
