Solar energy breaks through the quantum efficiency barrier
PhysOrg.com reports that researchers have broken through the quantum efficiency barrier, a measure of how efficient solar panels are at absorbing light and turning the photons into electricity:
Researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have reported the first solar cell that produces a photocurrent that has an external quantum efficiency greater than 100 percent when photoexcited with photons from the high energy region of the solar spectrum.
And when that electricity gets captured, researchers may also have a good copper battery to store that energy.

trade solar panels for Gold, which would be better as e-Energy collectors doing work,
… than as a coin.
set a price in Gold, per panel.
A company in the Niagara offers free panels and installation for 20 year contract. Just saw this on Kijiji. they are at 647-930-1402.
thanks for being there ! … mp
solar heater
Buying a solar heater is huge investment project. It is always important to choose the right solar power company to buy a solar panel either for commercial or residential purposes. It is easy to determine the quality of company by considering the standard of their products. The best solar power companies considers customer demands first, without thinking their benefits by selling expensive product.
