A novel model of a three-dimensional (3D) solar cell constructed from nanostructured crystalline materials and integrated with angularly aligned optical mirrors to concentrate solar radiation. The design aims to enhance photovoltaic efficiency while drastically reducing spatial footprint compared to traditional flat-panel photovoltaics. By combining geometric optimization, advanced light-absorbing nanomaterials, and passive light concentration techniques, this model proposes a compact, scalable, and high-output alternative to conventional solar systems.
The paper discusses the theoretical design, potential fabrication strategies, expected efficiency gains, and compares the model with existing photovoltaic technologies.
