Scientists are always on the lookout for ways to make our world a better place, and one area they're focusing on is solar energy. One idea in this area is to make solar cells more efficient by concentrating more solar light onto them.
Imagine solar panels that can flex and fold like origami or become partially transparent to blend seamlessly into surroundings and make them easy to install. By enhancing the durability and versatility of these panels, they could be integrated into a wide range of settings, promising longevity and efficiency.
"This realisation means that we can now focus on different things instead of just making solar cells work better. In future, we're going to examine solar harvesting pathwaysthat includes tessellation. It's like a puzzle pattern that could help us capture even more sun power," concluded Baikie.
