Boeing Plans on Mass Producing a New Solarcell

The Boeing Company announced that Spectrolab, an owned subsidiary, has started mass production of its newest terrestrial solar cell with an average conversion efficiency of almost 40 percent. Most cell now don't get much above 21 percent . In my opinion this is great news, this will help give solar a fighting chance as a common power source. With the efficiency rising, solar may finally compete with coal and oil.
