Solar Cells to Become More Efficient And Economical With more solar cell developers working on creating the next-generation of superefficient solar cells, it is safe to say that the future is bright for solar energy. Solar cells (as the name implies) are designed to convert (at least a part of) available light into electrical energy. Whatever the concepts and design behind creating solar cells; whether growing photovoltaic crystals, using carbon nanotubes, applying special coatings, or an alternative concept, one thing is for sure. Regular scientific breakthroughs, as far as new and improved solar cells are concerned, promises cheaper, more efficient solar power energy. Only last month (March 2010), scientists claimed that they were using technology, originally developed by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, to create solar energy that was four times more efficient and three times cheaper than existing solar cells.
