3D Solar Panels Generate 20x More Energy Than Flat Solar Panels
Thursday, March 29th, 2012
Solar power engineering is taking to new heights as researchers around the world invent and reinvent methods to harness solar energy to its best capacity. Until now, improving the performance of photovoltaic cells involved only rearranging the layout of solar panels on a flat surface and bringing down their cost. But now, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on avant-garde 3D designs that would look beyond the traditional outlook of arranging cells on a flat surface or motorized structures keeping them pointed towards the sun.
