Affordable Solar Power
Posted by Tyler Kinch on 9th April 2007
Researchers in New Zealand have developed an organic dye similar to what is found in nature. This dye will be used in solar cells to gather solar energy. The green dye is “synthetic chlorophyll derived from the light-harvesting pigment plants use for photosynthesis. Other dyes being tested in the cells are based on haemoglobin, the compound that give blood its colour.” This environmentally friendly technology is expected to cost one-tenth of what silicone based panels cost.
