I wonder what the cost is? So you have a 5% increase in efficiency, but if the cost is a lot higher it may worth it. I am not super educated on solar. It doesn’t work well around here - too much rain, too much cloud cover. Does efficiency help on cloudy/winter days? Or does it just a measure of power output on clear sunny days?

It’s carbon based rather than silicon based and can be printed. So significantly cheaper and cleaner than silicon solar panels, but just not as much output as silicon yet.

I think this is the solar film stuff they use on solar LED yard lights.
