One type of future development focuses on the development of cells that convert increased levels of the incoming photons to electricity. These would take less incoming energy to begin releasing electrons and would also capture more of their specific wavelength of the light spectrum. There is currently a lot of research on going in this field dealing with making the light rays diffract to increase absorption rates. Normally the rays will reflect of the backing material and travel out of the cell. By creating a lower angle of exit more energy can be absorbed by the cell. | One type of future development focuses on the development of cells that convert increased levels of the incoming photons to electricity.
