Plant Fibers Could Make Solar Cells More Efficient
Researchers around the world are continuing to make substantial progress towards giving solar power technology the efficiency it needs toachieve cost parity with fossil fuels. One recent developmentwas announced by Wake Forest University, where researchers havedeveloped a new solar cell technology with the potential to doubleproduction from flat cells while also bringing down the cost.

Solar Grid – A cheap and multipurpose green design
DesignerJohanna Schönberger’s ‘Solar Grid’ combines the flexible thin-filmtechnology and basalt fibers into a meticulous piece of structure thataims at providing double functionality at a time. The structure notonly harness energy from sunlight but also provides an excellentopportunity of learning by working as a free organic model ofeducation. Basalt fiber makes the design cheaper, but ensuresdurability [...]
