New Nanomaterial Could Serve for Dust-Proof Solar Cells and Supercapacitors

The new material is made up of molecules of peptides that "grow" to resemble small forests of grass. And as if the coincidence wouldn't had been enough, supercapacitors could also benefit from this nano-coating.

New Anti-Reflective Coating Make Solar Panels Absorb 96.2% Sunlight

I like the way science evolves and still, for years, nobody seems to look at the new inventions. This may be the case with solar, because almost weekly we discover news about useful inventions in the area of solar power. Instead, old and inefficient methods are still being commercialized and "promoted", at their high prices, like it's wanted to decrease their real usage in real life conditions, not promote it.

Solar Panel Coating to Increase Efficiency up to 6%

Xerocoat, a newcomer in the solar industry, has patented a system that will make solar panels better and more efficient. They made a coating for the solar panels so that when covered with it, they receive 3% more light at noon and as much as 6% during early morning and evening hours. So they increase sensibly the solar panels' efficiency and decrease the cost/watt.
