While all research in traditional photovoltaics faces the same underlying theoretical limitations, MIT PhD student David Bierman says, â€œwith solar thermal photovoltaics you have the possibility to exceed that.â€ In fact, theory predicts that in principle this method could more than double the theoretical limit of efficiency, potentially making it possible to deliver twice as much power from a given area of panels.Photo courtesy of MIT.
