Nano for PV Cells
 
Sun Plus Nanotechnology: Can Solar Energy Get Bigger by Thinking Small?

Still seems like a dead end, today my PV system is useless since it's covered in 3 inches of snow (nano or not). The announcement about fusion last week holds much more promise in a shorter time span, imo.

light penetrates thru snow - for a foot or more

I'm at about 13% today according to the panel, or what I like to call "useless."

I applaud you for being an early adopter, but you need some cells with higher efficiency (esp. at low light levels for "under snow" use).

Exactly, with the 20% efficiency increase nano tech brings to this you could have been at 15.6%...perhaps a couple more percent if you're a couple generations removed.
