Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a coating for solar panels that boost their effeciencey from 67.4% sunlight absorption to 96.21%. What’s more, it allows for absorbtion of the full spectrum of light across all angles, regardless of the sun’s position in the sky, eliminating the need for motorized panels that follow the sun. Pretty incredible.
