Fourth Industrial Revolution

Scientists find a way to dramatically increase solar cell output

A general view shows a soon-to-be completed solucar solar park at Sanlucar La Mayor, near Seville, May 16, 2007. The first of two solar thermal power plants uses mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays onto the top of a 100 metre (300 foot) tower where it produces steam to drive a turbine. The lines in the photograph are due to reflections on the solar panels. REUTERS/Javier Barbancho  (SPAIN) - GM1DVGTNAWAA
