Perovskites are not a breakthrough, but making thin, flexible multilayer sheets flexible enough to coat surfaces is innovative. The main issue with Perovskites is they are not as long-lasting as silicon; they lose capacity in a shorter time. This breakthrough presumes this issue has been solved. https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2024-08-09-solar-energy-breakthrough-could-reduce-need-solar-farms?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ted_talks_daily_newsletter&utm_campaign=daily
