And the solar cell: That's completely not intricate. It's simply a few layers of semiconductor.

但是太阳能电池并不精细，它只是简单的几层半导体。

Since the silicon material is an expensive component of a conventional solar cell, a cell that requires just one-fiftieth of the amount of this semiconductor will be much cheaper to produce.

由于硅材料是传统太阳能电池中一种很昂贵的成分，所以一种只需要1/50这种半导体材料的太阳能电池投入生产将更加便宜。
