I read “Ultra efficient solar panels”, this article talked about the new solar panels that are converting more light into electrical energy. I was most surprised that the solar panels were converting 34% of the light that hit them into solar energy. It seems like a lot because solar panels are constantly blasted with light all day long. I think this article allows me to infer that in the future we will be able to convert 50, 60, maybe even 70% of light into useable energy for towns and cities. Eventually the solar panels may be able towns as big as New York or LA, but I don’t see it happening in the immediate future. One of the breakout technologies in 2009 was SIRI, the voice in an iPhone that allows you to speak your command. In 2009 it was an amazing accomplishment and now in 2013 it has become very basic and accessible technological device.
