A Solar Cell Breakthrough

October 22, 2012 | 2 Comments

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has engineered silicon solar cells using a new nanotechnology technique for an efficiency of 18.2% by cutting light reflection of the silicon solar cell surface. The “best” and most efficient solar cells are still built from silicon.  But the costs have just crushed the buying interest even in the […]
