Ghanaian researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify materials that could make solar panels more efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly, potentially expanding access to renewable energy. The research, supported by the French Embassy in Ghana, uses AI-powered computational methods to identify suitable material combinations for photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. Researchers hope to increase solar-cell conversion efficiency from the current level of about 22% to between 25% and 30%, while building local capacity to develop solar technologies.
