New solar panel will produce 60 times more electricity
a new solar panel unveiled by Georgia Tech Research Institute in Atlanta in April 2007 promises to produce about 60 times more electricity than traditional solar cells. The new cells are smaller and less complex.
Conventional flat solar cells reflect a significant portion of the light that hits them, reducing the amount of energy absorbed. But these new three-dimensional solar cells capture nearly all the light striking them using an array of nano towers
