Can we use nano technology in solar panels to reduce the size of itself with same efficiency?
Apr 27 2015 8:37 AM
Eduardo González-Mora, MS | May 01 2015 6:50 PM
I think it is possible, but take into consideration the high cost of this kind of panels.

See "rectennae" - rectified antenna sized for solar irradiance wavelengths.
Yash Pund | Aug 30 2018 1:47 PM
Rectennae was an interesting subject .
