Less Hype - Debunking Solar Energy Efficiency Measurements

Monday, January 10, 2011 - 14:10 in Physics & Chemistry

Without question nanotechnology is a key component in our energy future.   In recent years, developers have been investigating light-harvesting thin film solar panels made from nanotechnology and promoting efficiency metrics which they say make the technology marketable but a researcher has challenged recent "charge" measurements for increasing solar panel efficiency.While we need to invest in the future, we need to make sure there is no hype that promises to increase efficiencies in thin film panels. read more
