Solar panels aren’t precisely the most efficient green technology around, but scientists have come up with a new solar dye that is able to capture energy from the sun in a new way, potentially increasing the ability generated by solar panels tenfold. that new technique involves coating glass with a specific mixture of transparent dyes which redirect light to photovoltaic cells in the frame. It is hoped that

that development will be used to convert glass buildings into gigantic energy plants - something most metropolitan areas need since there is a deluge of high rise buildings with millions of citizens craving for ever more capability. Scientists in the team tip the technology to hit production state within three years.
