- MIT Team Develops All-Carbon Solar Cell That Generates Energy from Infra-Red Light! Sat, 23 Jun 12, 4:04amCurrently 40% of the solar energy that reaches Earth lies in the near-infra-red region of the spectrum, and while most photovoltaic devices are unable to harness this energy, a team at MIT has created an all-carbon solar...
- MIT Develops ‘Inverted Nanopyramid’ Solar Surface That Cuts Silicon Use by 90% in Photovoltaic Cells Thu, 14 Jun 12, 5:26amA team of researchers at MIT has developed a new type of textured solar surface that could bring down the cost of photovoltaic technology by reducing the thickness of silicon used by more than 90% while still maintaining...
- Start-Up Makes Solar Cells Cheap Enough to Compete with Fossil Fuels Fri, 12 Mar 10, 1:00amThe most efficient solar tech on the market today is the silicon solar cell. There’s just one drawback–implementing the tech costs up to $4 per watt, almost four times the cost of fossil fuel-derived electricity....
