Optics for High-Efficiency Full Spectrum Photovoltaics
<p>While the price of solar energy has dropped dramatically in the last few years, costs must be further reduced to reach wide-scale adoption. One strategy to decrease cost is to increase efficiency. Photovoltaic energy conversion is most efficient for a narrow frequency range. Lack of absorpt...
