It’s awesome that they’re up to 22%. My whole childhood I had the 2-5% number in my head based on earlier panels. This is a real improvement.

I wonder if that 22% of energy being transformed into electricity has a secondary benefit of NOT being transformed into heat? If so, solar wins coming and going.
