High Efficiency Solar Energy Harvesting using Nanotechnology

Due to increasing population, the need for more and more energy generation to drive this developing world has become very crucial. Unfortunately, the non-renewable sources (fossil fuels and coal) which are major energy sources now, are on the edge of depletion. As a remedy for this, solar energy which is ever lasting is being utilized nowadays to generate the considerable amount of energy. As solar energy is very dilute form of energy, currently used solar cell modules are not much efficient to generate maximum energy from the solar radiation and also, they require lot of space. In this paper the authors have presented a concept of harnessing more solar energy using nanotechnology which can generate more energy in very small physical space compared to the current methods of solar energy harvesting.
