Teenager Targets Solar Efficiency Breakthrough
In a video posted on her TikTok page (@amanda_jesse), Adaeze stood under heavy rain to pitch her company's engineering focus. She noted that while many people buy solar panels, the market faces a major issue with technical efficiency, which her research addresses directly. Adaeze mentioned that despite the sudden passing of her father last year, which affected her immediate infrastructure support, her five-year research project is ready for laboratory prototyping and strategic corporate partnerships.
She said in her video: "There's one thing I know and I'm very sure of, that the efficiency of solar panels are the main, main issues and they are the main core. If that is gotten right, then the aspect of energy will be solved. So what my company does is that we work on systems of renewable energy to solve these problems of energy."
