GE has developed a better material for use in the solar industry. First discovered in attempts to produce artificial diamonds, silicon carbide (SiC) is likely to replace silica in the solar industry, significantly increasing the efficiency and speed of things like solar inverters, and halving the physical footprint of solar arrays. They should also make trains, planes and wind turbines much more efficient.
