Stanford scientist plans to present less expensive solar cells by making use of a fly's compound eyes.

The silicon solar panels are as of now being used for electricity yet the scientists are still in search for better and less expensive ways. They are aiming to make a less expensive photovoltaic mineral known as "perovskite" for the people who will move to solar power.

This mineral is about as powerful and productive as silicon based sun cells for conversion of sunlight into electrical energy, however they have certain limits. They are to a extremely fragile and fade within the sight of different components. The group is endeavoring to find a way to expand the material's durability and they discovered their solution in in the compound eyes of insects.

This is quite recently the initial move towards less expensive solar cells for everybody.

I'm interested in this question. I'm going to use alternative energy sources in the future
