University of New South Wales researchers have teamed up with Tindo Solar to develop line of semi-transparent modules, specialised for agripv cropping, which will use nanoparticles tuned to capture different parts of the light spectrum. “There is evidence you don’t need the full spectrum and some plants will work even better if you provide them with only part of the spectrum,” project lead and UNSW Associate Professor Ziv Hameiri tells <b>pv magazine Australia</b>. Crucially, he says, the project will also open a line between farmers and solar researchers and industry, creating the potential for mutual benefits.
