Solar thermal energy generation boosted through nanomaterials and panel design
Boston College and MIT collaborate to research improvements to the conversion efficiency of solar thermal panels.
Nanotech materials and panel design techniques
combine to boost the electric power conversion significantly. …
… “The team’s introduced two innovations: a better light-absorbing surface through enhanced nanostructured thermoelectric materials, which was then placed within an energy-trapping, vacuum-sealed flat panel.
