A new type of solar cell has been developed and has made it to market.

Perovskites have been called a 'magic material' that many believe will be the new, efficient way to convert the sun's energy to electricity.

Now the material is being used on commercial roof panels for the first time, we look at the opportunities of the new tech, its flaws, and when it might be available to households.
