Question: Can we get better solo panels?

Chris Bowden answered on 21 Jun 2017:

We definitely can! Scientists are always working in the background to make solar panels better and better so that they can catch more of the sun’s light that is usually just wasted. Most of the energy that comes from the sun goes into the sea or the soil and turns into heat which just disappears. Solar panels are great because they get some of that energy from the sun and store it as electricity for us to use later. The better solar panels get, the more energy from the sun we can grab and turn into electricity.
