It was a French teenager who discovered that electricity could be produced from sunlight. In 1839 Edmond Becquerel was experimenting in his father’s laboratory when he created the world’s first photovoltaic cell. The technology developed in fits and starts until 1958 when the US satellite Vanguard 1 rocketed into space powered with the energy captured by a six-pack of solar panels.

There are now over 2 million solar photovoltaic (PV) installations in the U.S. according to new figures. The 2 million mark comes three years after installations hit 1 million a figure it took the industry 40 years to reach.

Swanson’s Law is the observation that solar PV panels tend to become 20 percent cheaper for every doubling of cumulative shipped volume. It’s the solar industry’s equivalent of Moore’s Law which predicts the growing computing power of processors. But as the semiconductor industry has discovered the observation that processing power increases exponentially at a two-year or so cadence has hit a physical limit.

Physicists are pushing the performance of solar cells to levels never before reached. They have made a significant breakthrough in the chemical formula and process to make a new material. The ultra-high efficiency material called a tandem perovskite solar cell is being developed to help solve the world energy crisis.

The obvious drawback of solar panels is that they require sunlight to generate electricity. Some have observed that for a device on Earth facing space which has a frigid temperature the chilling outflow of energy from the device can be harvested using the same kind of optoelectronic physics we have used to harness solar energy.
