RE: NATURE INSPIRED INVENTIONS --- Photovoltaic cells; the reason for the non-reflecting eyes of the moth.
Five months ago I wrote on the revolutionary solar panels capable of absorbing all the wavelengths of the solar spectrum. It's amazing that the solar panels we currently enjoy at the moment is pegged at 25%. The new one promises an efficiency of 44.5% which is nearly twice the maximum efficiency of what we enjoy now.
You are quite right, temperature do affect the efficiency of solar panels. That explains why ground mount solar panels mostly perform better than roof mounted ones. The roof usually increase the temperature of the solar arrays and thereby reducing its efficiency.
Interesting article.
Am really glad for this great discovery. Right now, we need not depend on electricity companies who are known for their behavior of barely giving power supply, but yet, they won't forget to bill you at the end of the month. With this technology, once you install a solar panel in your home, you can be able to have constant power supply. Thanks @greenrun
Yeah, I'm a big fan of renewable energy.
