Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have discovered a new method to increase the efficiency of solar cells by a factor of 1,000. The team of scientists achieved this breakthrough by creating crystalline layers of barium titanate, strontium titanate, and calcium titanate, which were alternately placed on top of one another in a lattice structure.

Their findings, which could revolutionize the solar energy industry, were recently published in the journal Science Advances.

This would finally make solar feasible in Puget Sound! Assuming it's true, and will become available during my lifetime. Well, it would still make solar feasible in Puget Sound even if I were dead, but I wouldn't get to enjoy it.
