In summary, there have been several recent developments in the field of solar energy and optics. These include advancements in solar panel technology, such as the use of perovskite materials and bifacial panels, which increase efficiency and output. There have also been improvements in optics, such as the development of more efficient light trapping methods and the use of optical coatings to reduce reflection and increase energy absorption. Additionally, there has been a focus on integrating solar energy with other technologies, such as agriculture and transportation, to create more sustainable and efficient systems. Overall, these developments are helping to make solar energy a more viable and widespread source of renewable energy.

Hello Leah,
If alternative energy + optics = solar energy, your interests are in my area of interests too!
Best regards
