#OffGridSolar energy solutions can provide high-quality uninterrupted power to unserved communities across Zambia and reach populations today that would otherwise have to wait years to be reached by the grid.
Let's act now for a cleaner future for all!

#BuildSolarNow
Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have discovered a new method to increase the efficiency of solar cells by a factor of 1,000. The team of scientists achieved this breakthrough by creating crystalline layers of barium titanate, strontium titanate, and calcium titanate, which were alternately placed on top of one another in a lattice structure.
Their findings, which could revolutionize the solar energy industry, were recently published in the journal Science Advances.

@fbirol set the tone of the @IEA 50 with renewable energy on top of the agenda: "Rapid renewable energy growth is now inevitable and secured long term, not just because it is cost competitive, but it is now at the centre of industry, security and economic policies."
