The average American drives less than 30 miles per day, so most owners of the solar-power-assisted Aptera should not have to plug in their vehicle to charge.
A recent advance in photovoltaic research by imec addresses one of the most significant challenges for perovskite solar cells—durability in outdoor environments.
Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, low-cost, or even semi-transparent solar panels.
