Korean scientists have developed solar panels that can capture both visible and invisible light, making them far more efficient. The breakthrough came from researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, who found a way to boost these hybrid cells'' power conversion efficiency to an impressive 24%, up from 20.4%.
The efficiency of organic solar cells is catching up with traditional solar cells and they can convert about 20 percent of the sun''s rays into electricity. The high efficiency is the result of several years of intensive materials research and studies of the interaction between the molecules in the material, the so-called morphology.

They absorb more solar energy than traditional solar panels do and are especially suitable for large-scale stackable satellite launches,” Zhu Zhengxian, chief technology officer of GalaxySpace, told China Science Daily on Tuesday. The Lingxi-03 is also China''s first satellite with an integrated main body structure, according to Zhu.
An outstanding feature of these new solar cells is their flexibility and semi-transparency, which allows them to be used in light-absorbing glass windows. In this way, the concept of ''urban solar farms'' in cities with many tall buildings is taking shape. America trembles at China''s solar panel breakthrough
