SOLAR - Next-Generation Of Solar Cells, Capturing More Sunlight With Microbeads

"Micro beads" may be the key to extremely thin (and much cheaper) next generation solar cells. Solar cells 20 times thinner than the solar cells of today are only 5-7 years off, according to the nano-scientists that are currently developing them.The estimate, as of right now, is that the super-thin solar cells will be on the market by 2020, which should help to greatly cut down on manufacturing and production costs."Over 90 per cent of the cur ...
