BNEF 24 January 2012.

A team of engineers from University of Buffalo has been able to significant increase the conversion rate of solar-energy technology by tweaking the tiniest parts of the cells.

At University of Buffalo, researchers have already demonstrated that embedding quantum dots into modern photovoltaic cells increase the energy output significantly. It allows the cells to generate energy from infrared light and therefore, the energy that can be harvested from photoelectrons is amplified…
