A test bed solar energy system using graphene–perovskite panels has delivered ‘very promising’ early results

The world’s first graphene-based solar farm has been operating in Greece for several months, and early results are very promising when it comes to power output and efficiency. Located at the Hellenic Mediterranean University in Crete and spearheaded by the EU’s Graphene Flagship, the new solar farm consists of nine graphene–perovskite panels with a total area of 4.5m2 and a total output of approximately 261 watt-peak (Wp).
