U.S. residential solar on the brink of collapse in c/energy@slrpnk.net

This right here is why you do not ever trust Media coverage of science. This shows a good increase for a particular material system, but to be clear: Silicon solar panels can achieve around 20-25 mA/cm^2 at 0.7 V while this system jumped up to 11.3 MICRO amps at 7 MILLI volts. A jump for a material system is published to show that a material could use further study, but that doesn't mean it's competitive with current tech yet. The real thing to watch for is increasing efficiency and low cost of halides.

I'm a solar researcher, I'm used to any attention over hyping our results.

Listing ff8 hurts, my list didn't have a number attached to ff.
