Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

Default Nano-flakes offer potential for 30% efficient solar cells

Copenhagen (Denmark) - Martin Aagesen, a PhD from the Nano-Science Center at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, discovered a new, untried material, called silicium. He describes it as "a perfect crystalline structure". The new material has the ability to absorb all light, and he claims it could become "the perfect solar cell". According to early reports, 30% efficiencies seem well within reach, though there are very few details in his findings.
