This article is a bad rewrite of this one from a month ago:

https://www.ecoticias.com/en/japan-super-solar-panel/12474/

> Scientists in Japan have been discussing the possibility of using a material called perovskite for solar panels

> The perovskite tandem cell has a theoretical efficiency limit of 43 per cent, while the silicon-based cell has a theoretical efficiency limit of 29 percent. It is speculated that these solar panels will be able to produce 20 gigawatts of electricity by 2040

> Under Section 0 of Japan’s revised energy plan, the Ministry of Industry prioritises the use of perovskite solar cells over the less efficient silicon-based solar cells of yore.

> Japanese company, Sekisui Chemical Co., with the help of the Japanese government, is now working towards developing advanced perovskite solar cells for circulation in the global market in the 2030s.

Thank you, I couldn't make heads or tails of that press release
