Scarpa said MX has very near term needs, which is why they were not interested in tandems during this early stage of the r&d. Whether or not the tandem succeeds, it is good to hear how important the black silicon will be if it passes their present tests.

Hi Dom, Can you or anyone else on the board explain this cell/panel power loss issue to me?

“The problem is, if you increase efficiency you still have a loss of power between the solar cell and the actual solar panel. Unless you solve that problem, increasing efficiency isn’t a big deal … The NREL patents let us increase power output, so you get much more power without having to deal with the cell/panel power loss issue, something the whole industry is contending with right now,”
