Other 2011 Grand Challenge Scholars from Duke University and Olin College pursued projects to restore urban infrastructure, improve technology for wind and solar energy, create educational software for middle school students, and develop low-cost cancer diagnostics for developing countries.
The roughly 20-year life of a solar panel still makes it some of the cleanest energy technology currently available.
Until relatively recently, the solar energy industry had been too young, and the technology too new, to accurately predict return on investment.
