    In 2025 a Chinese company broke records with its innovations in perovskite-silicon tandem solar panels.

    The idea that Asians are only good at making things cheap is more Orientalism. Maybe try to not be so fucking racist?

      That’s it. Keep repeating I’m a racist. I’m sure eventually if you spew that enough it’ll become true.

      Also, perovskite-silicon tandem solar panels haven’t been proven out yet outside of a lab. Looks like a promising technology, but it has high degradation compared to panels we already have and is difficult to mass manufacture still. It may become the future of solar panels. And it might not. Neat tech either way and the Chinese scientists that invented it should be proud either way.
