Utilizing nanowires to make ultra reliable affordable solar cells

A research study group at the Norwegian University of Science and also Technology (NTNU) has actually established a method for making an ultra-high product reliable solar cell using semiconductor nanowires. If this is positioned on top of a typical silicon-based solar cell, it can possibly double the performance of today's Si solar cells at low cost.
