Solar PanelsSolar technologies are constantly evolving towards higher efficiencies thanks to the development of materials capable of absorbing more of the sun's visible energy. A new DARPA-funded project explores nanostructured materials that break sunlight into its constituents, allowing for solar cells to absorb specific colors of the spectrum. According to the researchers, this approach could improve efficiency of solar panels by over 50 percent....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/nanomaterials-that-split-sunlight-into-separate-colors-could-double-solar-cell-efficiency/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
