the 3D solar cell was invented at Georgetech a few years ago. The kid just happen to be getting hype because of his age...

If he is right, solar panels with his 3D cells would provide 500 times more light absorption than commercially-available solar cells and nine times more than cutting-edge 3D solar cells.

A 9-fold improvement is nothing to sneeze at.
