But now, science had given the answer, as it eventually does to about every question! Scientists discovered that a photon produces a dark quantum"shadow state" from which two electrons can be efficiently captured! Also, the team has come-up with semiconductor nanocrystals that absorb the electrons that goes unused as heat. This can increase the efficiency from 31%, of normal solar-panels, to 66% !
