Beginning in the late 1980’s, research began on a new type of photovoltaic cell, called the dye-sensitized titanium dioxide semiconductor cell that has begun to change the perception that solar cells have to be expensive. These cells, though much less efficient than their silicon brethren, have already found a home in large office buildings. Given the cost difference (greater than a factor of 10), it is reasonable to expect research to continue in this area.
