Stanford scientists say to have developed a solar cell that produces energy not only from the sun's PV rays, but also from its heat, thus improving efficiency dramatically.

Photovoltaics are good only if they are made more durable and less expensive,
however its great to be able produce your own electric power still, but the panels
are only part of the system this DC power produced by the cells must be converted to AC for building use so more cost added with the inverter and perhaps on cloudy days with less solar interaction you'l need a storage system,
Batteries. Even when producing hot water solar is a system that sill is not
cheap.

Hybrid Photovoltaic Solar-Thermal Collector Does Both Jobs

The Turkish company, Solimpeks Corp., has launched its Volther hybrid photovoltaic-solar thermal collector, which produces electricity and hot water simultaneously. The hybrid system allows extra module heat to be absorbed to produce hot water while optimising efficiency, the company says.
