A team from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a highly efficient, printable, and stable perovskite solar cell and claims that the daily output can be as high as 1,000 solar panels.

Because it is flexible and semi-translucent, it can also be made into light-absorbing glass windows, effective in utilizing light energy to realize the concept of “urban solar farms” in cities with many high-rise buildings, with energy produced and consumed directly.
