GLOBASOL will develop new concepts, materials and devices for advanced light harvesting and light management for a panchromatic collection of the solar energy and an unprecedented power conversion efficiency. This will be accomplished by integrating in a single device three light-to-electricity converters, exploiting different regions of the solar spectrum based on sensitized mesoscopic solar cell ...

Background Power generation constitutes 20-25% of CO2 emissions and is therefore a focus for attempts to reduce such emissions. The global solar energy resource is about one thousand times larger than any other carbon-free energy source. The additional annual demand for carbon-free energy could, for example, be provided by just 1.5 hours of global irradia ...
