[One undeniable reason for supporting the development of solar cells is the enormous amount of energy that comes from the Sun each and every day. Every year we use a total of 410 quintillion joules of energy. Every hour we receive 430 quintillion joules of energy from the Sun. So, we get more energy from the Sun in 1 h than the world’s population uses in an entire year. While the first photovoltaic cells were dominated by silicon, recent research has identified other materials that can capture an even greater fraction of the sun’s energy for higher efficiency devices.]
