Due to the fact that nano flakes are still in the prototype stage, they have the potential to be used in the production of solar energy. The crystals' crystalline structure allows them to absorb light and capture 30% of the solar energy that is focused at their surface. As the sun is the source of clean, renewable energy that can be turned into power, nano flake technology may also help keep the environment cleaner. Although fossil fuels are the main source of energy for power, harnessing solar energy from Nano flakes will reduce reliance on fossil fuels. When fossil fuels are used for energy, a poisonous gas is released that significantly increases pollution on earth.
