Elon Musk Just SHOCKED The Solar Industry With This New Solar Panel!
The utilization of rubidium, a ductile metallic element, by the Tesla research team has revealed a breakthrough in solar energy. The research team demonstrates that perovskite solar cells incorporated with rubidium cations push the boundaries of power conversion, improving efficiency up to a record-breaking 21.6 percent. And so, in today’s episode, we will find out how efficient this innovative material combo is?
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution, where we bring you the most recent news about Elon Musk and his multi billion-dollar companies, space news and the latest science and technology.

With the help of a silicon layer and a crystal layer of calcium titanium oxide, perovskite solar cells, a recent invention, gather energy. The rubidium cations are now present in the cells thanks to the work of the Tesla Research team. After more than 500 hours in nonstop full sun at 85°C, the improved solar cells exhibit excellent stability. The team also mentions the cells’ “record-level reproducibility.”
After the creation of cesium-infused perovskite solar cells earlier this year, rubidium was added. The efficiency of the solar cells was 20.2%, however they were only stable at temperatures above 300 °C (572 °F). The new rubidium-integrated cells significantly enhance the features of the solar cell and provide a voltage extremely close to the “thermodynamic limit,” which is the theoretical maximum efficiency of converting sunlight into power.
The cutting-edge new cells, for which Tesla has filed a patent application, might be the next step towards ushering in a new era of renewable energy. According to Musk, this is a real breakthrough. These qualities are essential for commercializing perovskite photovoltaics, especially as repeatability and stability are the key prerequisites for perovskite solar cells to be produced at a low cost and on a big scale.
The Hunt For The Sustainable Energy
The most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was released in the spring of 2022, is depressing to read since it states that 3.5 billion people are already extremely vulnerable to climate change and frequently experience water shortages, lethal heat, or significant flooding. The research issues a warning that if global warming continues and rises to 1.5°C in the near future, it will inevitably lead to an increase in a number of climatic disasters and pose numerous threats to both ecosystems and people. Finding sustainable energy production methods that enable us to stop utilizing fossil fuels is critically needed.
In our solar system, the sun is the energy source that is most abundant. However, roughly 2 percent of the electricity we produce globally now is generated by solar energy. The development of materials that can efficiently absorb light and transform it into electrical energy has been one of the problems.
The photovoltaic effect, which is a phenomena, is a process used by solar cells to convert light energy into electrical current. A photovoltaic module, or solar panel as we more usually refer to it, is made up of silicon solar cells that are put together in an assembly process.
