Scientists have devised a method to upcycle lithium-ion batteries and expired solar panels into new solar cells. The method recovers valuable materials from the waste and converts them into perovskite solar cells, which are cheaper and more efficient than silicon-based ones. This could reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste and boost the renewable energy sector.

Photovoltaic prices are really low now, so if you've been thinking of investing in solar panels for your house, now is a good time!

I never regarded different leaf shapes (of trees and bushes) as different panel shapes from differnt solar cell companies with slightly different production technologies
... but since I do that now, I like it :)

Perovskites are materials that can convert sunlight into electricity with high efficiency and low cost. They have been hailed as the next generation of solar cells, but they also have a dark side: they degrade quickly under heat and humidity. This means they may not last long enough to be commercially viable unless scientists can improve their stability and durability.
