Many hope that the harnessing of the sun's energy may be an answer to future energy problems. But, until now, the coatings for the solar panels permitted much of the sun's energy to escape. 0.14 At NASA's Lewis Research Centre in Cleveland, Glen McDonald has discovered a more efficient was of collecting the sun's energy a different coating for solar panels. 0.21 MCDONALD (SEQ 3): "...BACK TO THE COLD SKY." MOSBROOK: McDonald says the black chrome costs no more than the paint now being used on solar panels.
