New Ultra Thin Solar Solar Cells Are 1000 Times More Powerful

The general drive in the solar energy technology industry has been towards the development of higher solar cell efficiencies and lowered manufacturing costs. That’s exactly what new research from MIT is suggesting — that the development of extremely thin, lightweight solar cells has the potential to completely revolutionize the industry.

Such extremely thin and lightweight solar cells have the potential to greatly surpass “any substance other than reactor-grade uranium” with regard to the energy produced per pound of material.
