Even after 60 years of commercialization , the technology behind solar photovoltaic panels is still advancing each year — and some of the most advanced panels could soon be manufactured in the U.S. With its industry-leading efficiency, Maxeon Solar Technologies might be the manufacturer that best demonstrates the ongoing progression of solar power, the fastest-growing form of electricity generation in the U.S.
In the last ten years a huge amount of research has focused on the use of Perovskite materials as semiconductors that can be tuned to harvest energy from the sun. Light from the sun excites electrons in the perovskite material, and through clever eng
