New solar cells could reduce cost of solar power by 75%

Solar energy has the potential to be a renewable, carbon-neutral source of electricity but cost of photovoltaics – the devices that convert sunlight into electricity – has slowed widespread adoption of this resource. The RTI solar cells are formed from solutions of semiconductor particles, known as colloidal quantum dots, and can have a power conversion … Continue reading New solar cells could reduce cost of solar power by 75%

Low Cost, High Efficiency Solar Energy Technology Developed

Solar energy has the potential to be a renewable, carbon-neutral source of electricity but the high cost of photovoltaics — the devices that convert sunlight into electricity — has slowed widespread adoption of this resource. Researchers at RTI International have developed a new solar technology that could make solar energy more affordable, and thus speed-up … Continue reading Low Cost, High Efficiency Solar Energy Technology Developed
