Quick Summary
The Silicon and New Concepts for Solar Cells (SyNC) research group at the Institute of Solar Energy (IES) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) has produced high-efficiency two-dimensional solar cell prototypes using the "hot-pick-up" technique, with simulations suggesting the cells could meet up to 30% of a building's energy needs when applied to facades.
