By devising a practical and efficient solar device with the use of organic dyes covered by glass, scientists believe the device will help in making solar energy more affordable.
Solar energy has always been seen as an excellent alternative source of energy but it was also one of the costliest processes. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that a new kind of solar concentrator has been developed which makes extracting solar energy from the sun better and easier.
Marc Baldo, the professor of electrical engineering from MIT, said that the process involves a glass piece with paint layered on its top. The idea of the device is that sunlight enters the glass and hits the paint which then bounces the light out to the glass edges. The edges are embedded with solar cells which transform light into electricity.
