New Solar Cells
« on: July 02, 2009, 07:10:14 AM »
Hi Guys


Not sure if you guys are interested in seeing stuff like this in here.  If not or it's in the wrong place I apologise in advance.

The burning hot sun at the equator is a far cry from the weak sunlight that reaches higher latitudes. To make the most of such different conditions you need specially tailored solar cells, according to UK firm Quantasol.


So the company has come up with a new solar cell design that can be tuned to the light at a particular latitude, and in the process broken a 21-year-old efficiency record for one type of solar cell.....
