Solar Panels

A traditional Photovoltaic solar cells panel is created using layers of expensive crystalline silicon that are treated using caustic chemicals, which is energy-intensive and can produce large amounts of waste and is expensive too.

Nanotechnology engineering has helped researchers in a great way as they have now developed ways to lower the cost of producing efficient solar cells through using Nanotechnology.

They now use Gratzel cell, which uses a layer of material coated with highly porous titanium dioxide Nanoparticles as its surface material instead of silicon, is less expensive to produce and allows cells to collect the sun’s rays across a wider surface area.
