Usually, solar cells only capture a very tight frequency spectrum of light to transform it into electricity. Scientists have tried hard to make the solar cells from different materials, but with little success or at high costs, at least for the moment. The University of Cantabria along with The Construction Unit at Tecnalia, a Spanish corporation, have another approach towards making solar cells capture the light better.

Using crops as a source of energy generated in the past years a great controversy. Once because we could use those crops as food for people and second because we use good agriculture lands to generate energy. But what if we could use an alternative to the crops and use smaller areas of lands to generate the same amount of energy?
