Energy security has recently become a high-profile
item in national policy. Of the alternatives, solar energy and,
specifically, photovoltaics, is very appealing. The concept is
“green,” and the fuel (the light) is free. What are
the current and future possibilities? What does nanotechnology
offer? What supporting infrastructure will be necessary? Please
join our panelists as they discuss their perspectives.
