Thinner Solar Cells Could Lead to lower Costs and Faster Expansion

Researchers at MIT and at the NREL have outlined a pathway to slashing costs of solar cells by slimming down the silicon cells themselves. Costs of solar panels have plummeted over the last several years, leading to rates of solar installations far greater than most analysts had expected. But with most of the potential areas […]
