Bacteria Solar Panels are THOUSANDS of Times Less Efficient

by Andrew Follett Solar panels of the future could literally be made of bacteria, but they’d be almost 5,000 times less efficient than regular panels, according to research published Monday by scientists from Binghamton University. The research created nine scalable and stackable bacteria-derived solar panels from cyanobacteria that continuously generated electricity from photosynthesis and respiration. The bacteria panels created,…
