New Device Makes Better Use of Sunlight
A team at MIT discovered a way to harvest solar energy more efficiently and potentially on demand. The new solar thermophotovoltaic device combines photovoltaic systems, which turn sunlight directly into electricity, and solar thermal systems, which allow delayed use of energy since heat can be stored more easily than electricity. The device also offers scalability and compactness because it is based on existing chip-manufacturing technology, and its reliance on heat offers ease of energy storage.
