Supersizing Solar With Glass

A team of scientists from Swansea University has found a way to "supersize" solar cells to make them six times larger than existing ones. While the cost of solar power generation is declining rapidly, solar has yet to become the dominant source of electricity for the world. This isn't to say that efforts are not being made to do so, with China attempting to reverse its image as a major polluter to become the world's largest solar producer. Things could be about to change in a big way following the news from Swansea where a team of researchers has produced a solar module the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
