Yea, combined cycle gas turbine power plants are pushing above 60% efficiency. They use the waste heat from the turbine exhaust to generate steam and then extract energy from there. About as good as it gets.

Cars could be a lot better if emissions wasn’t a concern.

Man this sounds an awful lot like Russias MO.

Doesn’t work for them either.

Oopsy found the solar freakin roadways supporter

Stick a PV panel in the window. You could do it right now. I don’t think its worth doing, but if you think this is a good idea there’s nothing stopping you.

There’s plenty of sensible efficient places we could stick more photovoltaics before its worth the resources chasing the tiny power output this is going to provide. Ultimately this is as silly an idea as solar freakin roadways for all the same reasons.

They found the bare device retained 80% of its efficiency over 300 hours

Thats pretty bad. A regular PV panel would hit that level of degradation after about 20 years.
