Market Analyst Publishes Report on Nanotechnology’s Impact on Solar Energy

Research and Markets has recently included the ‘Nanotech: Making Photovoltaics Possible,’ report in its catalog. Photovoltaics means producing electricity from light.

The PV segment is currently ruled by expensive wafer-based crystalline Si cells. This cost could be reduced with thinner wafers and products better equipped with higher  conversion efficiency. The advent of nanotechnology will allow costs to decrease, while using PV and with merging micro- and nano-electronics will further benefit the segment.

Nanotechnologies will deliver innovations in the energy sector, providing sources of cost- effective energy supply. The technology used in medicine and electronics delivers nano-sized microscopic sensors and transistors, spurring researchers to find more cost -effective and size-efficient solutions to meet growing industry demands, specifically solar cells used in energy harnessing. These research endeavors and innovations have been triggered to a great extent by the recent economic downslide.

The Aruvian's R'search report titled, ‘Nanotech: Making Photovoltaics Possible,’ highlights nanotechnology impacts on and making possible solar energy. Key players in the field have also been listed category-wise.
