This episode of Dnews is brought to you by Domain.com. Fossil fuel energy is the most common type of power plant in the United States, but solar just hit a HUGE milestone that might make them finally shine past the competition. For all the talk about solar panels being better for the environment, they are still notoriously inefficient… or were, until now. Australian researchers from University of New South Wales created the most efficient solar panels ever; these new panels convert 46-percent of their sunlight energy into electricity. Typical rooftop panels hover around 15 percent at best. This new technology works by distributing the solar collection into three cells picking sunlight up in multiple wavelengths, and then reflecting the excess light at a fourth ...
