Photovoltaic arrayYou've heard the statistic: enough solar power hits the Earth in an hour to meet our energy needs for an entire year. The trick is harnessing it. Today's solar cells make use of just under a third of the energy hitting them, overheating to create "hot electrons" that escape before they can be converted into electricity....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/new-quantum-dot-solar-cells-could-double-efficiency/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
