Qcells says technology breakthrough could reduce space needed for solar panels
Space is among the most pressing issues for the rapidly growing solar power industry, which has encountered growing opposition in some parts of the United States to large-scale projects that take up big swathes of land. Qcells said it had set a world record for the efficiency of a large-area silicon solar cell with a top layer of perovskite, the name for materials with a crystal structure that absorbs large amounts of light and is cheap to produce. The technology's potential could dramatically shrink the size of projects and slash costs.

Some prominent critics of President-elect Donald Trump - including three officials in his first administration - are instructing their accountants to safeguard against the possibility of Trump ordering investigations into their tax records after he returns to the White House, according to interviews with Reuters.
