Donâ€t Be a PV Efficiency Snob
From the author:
I think itâ€s rather impressive that we beat biology by a factor of 3 in just a few decades of effort (biology had much longer to work on the problem). Moreover, 15% is perfectly adequate for our needs, as weâ€ll see at the end.
From the comments:
After 20 years in the renewable energy business, I have yet to see a better explanation of the efficiency question than this.
