Super spiky solar cells

Micron-thick silicon wires create an efficient solar cell array

Unprecedented energy efficiencies using a very promising solar cell design have been demonstrated by scientists in the US. 

In one year, the earth absorbs roughly 8000 times more energy from the sun than was consumed worldwide in 2008. However, due to the prohibitive cost and low energy conversion efficiencies of current solar cell technology, solar energy has yet to achieve widespread use.   More ...
