00:00Hey everyone, imagine a world where your electricity bill drops to almost zero because your roof
00:07can harness the power of the sun a thousand times better than any solar panel out there.
00:13Sounds like a distant future?
00:15Well it might be closer than we think.
00:17Scientists at ETH Zurich have revolutionized the way we think about solar energy.
00:21They've developed a new type of ceramic that's not only photovoltaic but also a thousand
00:26times more effective than traditional solar panels.
00:29This is not just an upgrade, it's a game changer.
00:32This incredible material is made using a 3D printing technique and is designed with what
00:37they call a perovskite structure.
00:39Now I know that sounds super technical but all you need to know is that it's a fancy
00:44way of arranging materials that makes them super efficient at converting sunlight into
00:48electricity.
00:50So what does this mean for you and me?
00:53Well it's all about self-consumption.
00:55With traditional solar panels many of us are still hesitant because let's face it, they're
00:59an investment.
01:00But with these new photovoltaic ceramics we could potentially power our homes, charge
01:05our cars and maybe even stop relying on the grid altogether.
01:08And it's not just about saving money, it's about sustainability.
01:12Moving towards this technology could majorly cut down our carbon footprint, making strides
01:17towards that net zero goal we all hear about.
01:20This is the kind of technology that doesn't just change how we power our homes, it changes
01:25how we impact our planet.
01:27Now while this technology is still in the development stages, the potential it holds
01:31is immense.
01:33Imagine neighborhoods, entire cities powered by roofs made of this photovoltaic ceramic.
01:38It's a future I'm excited about and you should be too.
01:41So what do you think?
01:42Is this the end of traditional solar panels?
