The development of a nanowire based solar cell that
increases sunlight concentration to a a factor of 15 raises the standard
efficiency limit of solar cells known as the Shockley-Queisser limit.
One of the most popular and common source of renewable and
sustainable energy is the Sun. Solar energy is not dependent on weather
conditions such as wind power or need to be near a power source such as
geothermal or hydroelectric energy producers.
Solar energy is produced by solar panels or solar cells.
These cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, convert sunlight to electrical
energy.
