Photovoltaic Cell Technology

I'd like to tell you all about the latest advances in photovoltaic cell technology that make the solar garden lighting products on sale these days ten times better than they were only a short time ago. As environmental issues have come to the fore and solar lighting has become more and more popular the bods in their laboratories have been spending more and more time on coming up with better technology. Similar to the early days of the internet when there were hundreds of start up companies working on internet-based technology now it is the same for green technologies, most predominantly solar technology.

All this time spent has resulted in the efficiency of photovoltaic cells increasing exponentially. This means the cells themselves can be very small but yield a hig amount of energy storage. What this means for solar garden lighting products is that the techie bits which provide the wizardry of storing sunlight and using it at night to power the lights can be hidden away and the clever designers can put all their efforts into making a product that is beautiful. More on the designers of these products in a later blog.
