New Solar-Thermal Flat Panels Generate Electricity and Hot Water All at OnceA team of researchers from Boston College and MIT have developed a hybrid flat panel that is capable of producing electricity from the sun's rays as well as hot water for thermal energy. The team's new flat panel is eight times more efficient than previously developed solar thermoelectric generators and could make solar thermoelectric technology more cost effective on a wider scale. Solar Thermal energy is expensive and generally employed in large installations -- like the one above -- with this new flat panel, solar thermal energy could become a much more valuable investment....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/new-solar-thermal-flat-panels-are-eight-times-more-efficient-than-existing-technology/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
