The new project was pretty insane. Tony's team had figured out how to build a solar cell with nearly a forty percent efficiency rate. It didn't sound that impressive in the media reports, because forty percent wasn't normally a huge percent. But anyone who had worked on the project knew better.
Commercial solar cells rarely reached more than twenty, and with silicon, more than thirty was unheard of.
Tony's team had created a perovskite crystal matrix cell that had nearly no crystal imperfections; on its own, a great advancement.
But they'd also figured out how to make the film self-healing.
And to make it cheap.
Which was potentially revolutionary; for Darrow, maybe. For Tony, if he could remember it when he got back home. And for everyone on the team, to take back with them.
Today, for Tony, it was a lot of hot stinkin' work out in a field next to a nunnery. Did they still call them nunneries? Nuns lived in it, and they'd been Tony's first contract. He was doing it not-for-profit. Which meant trying to save on as many costs as possible.
Which was why Tony was knocking on Peter Parker's apartment door.
"I know you're in there."

Tony had found the cereal. He put the entire box into Peter's hands as he came back out of his room and into the kitchen area.
"Solar panels. To begin with. New material, newish process. But after that, I want your help with something else."
Tony levied on Peter a look of suggestive nonchalance. Something Else involved Spider-Man, tangentially.
