A Hot Solar Cell will solve the basic problem with a single-layer silicon cell, which is the amount of solar energy lost by heat. Hot solar cells solve this problem by introducing an absorber-emitter on top of the cell. This device acts like a kind of funnel, which captures energy in sunlight and converts it into heat with nanophotonic crystals embedded in carbon nanotubes. Not only does this increase the efficiency and energy output of the system almost two-fold, but it also provides the possibility for continuous on-demand power. Also, because the system is able to convert heat to energy, the cells do not have to rely on a pure light source.
