With its crystalline structure the crystals are able to absorb light and harvest 30 percent of solar energy directed at its surface.
Also since more solar energy can theoretically be obtained from Nano flakes, their use can potentially keep the earth's environment cleaner by reducing the need for fossil fuels.
This new technology can also potentially lower the cost of solar energy because it allows for a reduction in expensive semiconducting silicon.
[4] Nano flake technology can also help keep the environment cleaner as the sun as the source it produces clean pure sustainable energy that can be converted into electricity.
When fossil fuels are burned for use they release a toxic gas which has a huge impact on earth's pollution.
