Unique approach harnesses plant molecules like chlorophyll to harvest solar energy

Our current solar panels aren't very efficient; they are only able to convert up to about 20 percent of the sun's energy into electricity. As a result, to generate a lot of electricity, the panels require a lot of space-;sometimes leading forests to be cut down or farms to be replaced by solar. If solar panels were more efficient, much smaller panels could make the same amount of electricity, and wouldn't claim as much land.
