Solar Dyes Get More Efficient
Jul 11, 08 06:14 AM PDT

Solar panels aren't exactly the most efficient green technology around, but scientists have come up with a new solar dye that is able to capture energy from the sun in a new way, potentially increasing the power generated by solar panels tenfold. This new technique involves coating glass with a specific mixture of transparent dyes which redirect light to photovoltaic cells in the frame. It is hoped that this development will be used to convert glass buildings into gigantic energy plants - something most metropolitan areas need since there is a deluge of high rise buildings with millions of people craving for ever more power. Scientists in the team tip the technology to hit production state within three years.
