Nanotechnology Improves On Solar Panel

January 31st, 2008 | Category: Solar

Solar panels are nothing short of expensive and not very efficient, but thankfully nanotechnology could reverse the latter by printing a material’s surface with tiny nano-antennae which capture infra-red radiation at an 80% efficiency, even lengthy after dusk has engulfed the surroundings. Each antenna comes with a

small capacitor or AC/DC converter in order to capture those electrons which are next turned into electricity. Hopefully a commercial version won’t compromise on performance with cost.
