‘This newest one on the news is the latest generation triple junctions In-Ga-As-P. It has 40.8% efficiency, like 40MPG car, giving more electricity from sun.”
Whats the efficiency with one sun as a source and not 326?
You can have more than one sun. Just get yourself a magnifying glass. Then you can concentrate our one sun into the equivalent of dozens.
If you put 326 mirrors around to reflect light onto the solar panel, you have in effect given it 326 suns.
BTW, the more suns you put on the solar panel, the harder it is to get efficiency, because of the magnitude of the heat.
Great point. 326 suns is like adding “supercharged” fuel for cars. It can be used in space though, where sunlight is much more intense.
