by Tina Casey Working on a molecular level, scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the University of Colorado are developing a crystalline “sandwich” that could increase the efficiency of solar cells by 35%. The process is delicate but if it can be commercialized, it would bring down the cost of solar energy and give a big boost to ambitious international solar projects like DESERTEC and the Sahara Solar Breeder. Building a Better Photovoltaic CellThe new breakthrough is actually based on Check Out The Rest →
This is a good sign. We as a nation need more investment by the government and military into renewable energy sources. If solar arrays started showing up on all types of government buildings and military installations, I think that would without a doubt, increase consumer/investor confidence, which would in turn increase private investments into “utility grade” solar and other renewable sources.
