    is exposed to visible light. There solar cells are divided in three categories: the first, second and third generation. The first generation cells were the first ones to be developed and they were consisted of systems that occupied a large area, in spite of the high quality. The type of technology used in these solar cells required the use of a large amount of energy for the transformation of solar energy into electrical, what implied in high costs. The cell is composed of a purified silicon wafer

    heard of solar energy already. Although it is very well known, it has to be used by many people. The biggest problem is the cost of solar energy. There are only a select few who use solar energy. Solar energy has many benefits, but when one sees the price of solar energy, they turn their head the other way. In the beginning, solar cells were extremely expensive to make. They were used in special applications, such as aircraft. Performance mattered more than the cost of making solar cells. However

    use green roofs, high-efficiency lighting and windows, or even solar panels. One by one people are becoming aware that the benefits of these resources far outweigh its cons especially when it comes to solar panels and films. In order to understand the benefits of solar panels, we must first comprehend what exactly they are as well as how they work. For those who are not familiar with solar panels, solar panels are “forms of active solar power [which] harvest sunlight and actively convert it to electricity”

    Solar panels have become increasingly popular and increasingly common, but there is a huge disadvantage to using them; they require a lot of space. To power the average US home one would need 600 square feet of space - about 55 square meters - which costs $55,000 - almost €70,000 - (Statistic Brain). Now researchers at the Michigan State University believe that they have found a solution to make solar panels more space efficient. A team of researchers at the Michigan State University has developed
