Low cost solar cells ever

The conventional silicon solar cells that have been considered as the cheapest solar cells are now almost used in every solar energy applications will soon be replaced by low cost Nanopillar solar cells. They are developed in the University of California in which nanoscale pillars are built on the aluminum foil, where entire cell segment are encapsulated into rubber polymer thus make it as a bendable solar cells. Therefore they are especially suitable for flexible panels that are used in large scale applications. Once if it is implemented the cost will be reduced by 10 times when compared to crystalline solar cells in making solar panels.
