Solar panels are ten times more efficient than photosynthesis.
replyToday it's 10x more efficient, but it could theoretical get 100x more efficient, worth working on it.
replyCan it? I thought panels were well over 10% efficiency these days. Plus I'm pretty sure there's a hard limit somewhere below 100%.
replyIt's called the Shockley–Queisser limit.

isn't the self replicating property of life a huge benefit though?
