1. A solar panel comprising:
a first solar cell comprising: a first set of quantum dots in a first semiconductor, the first semiconductor configured to receive one or more of ambient light and sunlight and emit first wavelengths a first range of about 450 nm to about 480 nm, the first set of quantum dots configured to convert the first wavelengths to a first electric output, the first set of quantum dots doped with an N-type material with absorption in the first range; a second solar cell comprising: a second set of quantum dots in a second semiconductor, the second semiconductor configured to receive one or more of the ambient light and the sunlight and emit second wavelengths a second range of about 600 nm to about 700 nm, the second set of quantum dots configured to convert the second wavelengths to a second electric output, the second set of quantum dots doped with a P-type material with absorption in the second range; and, a substrate, the first solar cell and the second solar cell being side-by-side on the substrate in a planar arrangement such that a respective top surface of each of the first solar cell and the second solar cell receives one or more of the ambient light and the sunlight without the one or more of the ambient light and the sunlight first passing through the other of the first solar cell and the second solar cell, the first solar cell and the second solar cell, together, forming a biomimicry device that mimics, at least in part, energy conversion processes of photosynthesis, the first range and the second range comprising wavelength ranges used in photosynthesis. |
