Yeah but if I spray the coating on my cock I’ll get chemical burns and it would have to be amputated. Not really a “win”

Yeah, this is essentially going to be about a 50% energy output bump from most panels which hang around 18-20% efficiency and the pinnacle of the top end panels are only around 23% efficient right now. This is unironically really big if it becomes widely used.
