Super Cheap Solar Cells Just Got Cheaper, Switch Gold For NickelOne of the major drawbacks of most renewable energy sources is high cost. In order to see a huge rise in the use of renewable energy sources, prices must come down. In the world of solar there have recently been some major breakthroughs in cost advantages and efficiency increases. Scientists at the University of Toronto in Canada have come up with a way to reduce colloidal quantum dot solar cell prices <strong>by up to 80%</strong>, by swapping out costly conductive gold for cheap nickel.1
