New nano device for generating solar energy

26 July 2008

World Renewable Energy Conference was recently held at Glasgow and Professor Bagnall has delivered a talk on new types of solar cells that has been produced using nanotechnology. Professor Bagnall and his team at the University of Southampton’s School of Electronics and Computer Science have carried out many research programs related to use of nanotechnology for various applications.

In a recent study, Professor Bagnall and his nano group has utilized nanotechnology for creating new solar cells. These solar cells can further be utilized for making cheap flexible substrates as these solar cells have additional features that trap light.

Currently the solar panels are silicon based and requires thick layers to absorb more light and therefore the cost of the devices goes up. The latest metallic nanoparticles based plasmonic structures will be much cheaper than conventional silicon based and at the same time will absorb higher amount of light and therefore these are best alternatives for generating cheap solar energy.
