A brighter future: five ideas that will change solar energy

Nowadays technology is improving quickly and the industry involved in researches in renewable energy created new technologies in the range of solar energy. Panel that never lose their focus: Their self-tracking solar concentrators can change their reflectivity depending on the direction of incoming sunlight. Therefore, they provide much more electricity than any other kind of panel. New solar panels from old car batteries: Old car batteries are being converted into long-lasting solar panels by researchers at MIT. Lead from a single car battery could produce enough solar panels to provide power for 30 households. The new color of clean energy: Lead from a single car battery could produce enough solar panels to provide power for 30 households.  Solar power with a view: A new solar concentrator has been developed which can be placed over windows to create solar energy. The solar harvesting system uses small organic molecules which absorb specific non-visible wavelengths such as ultraviolet and near infrared. Solar cells that keep their cool: Solar cells can easily reach temperatures as high as 55 degrees Celsius. Some scientists at Stanford University have developed a glass that can redirect any infrared radiation which causes heat, preventing the solar cells from heating up.
