Magnetic Solar Energy Discovery Could Lead to Solar Energy Breakthrough By Rock_nj The common photovoltaic (PV) solar cells that are widely used to generate electricity from sunlight are only capturing a portion of the available light energy being produced by the sun. That is because sunlighthas both magnetic and electric components, and current solar cell technology only utilizes the electric portion of sunlight energy. The magnetic portion of sun light had been dismissed by scientists as too weak to be of any use for solar energy electricity generation. However, a recent breakthrough by a professor at the University of Michigan could one day lead to a whole new generation of solar energy capture devices that capture the magnetic portion of sunlight and turn it into useful electricity energy. hubpages.com
