Solar and wind power have disadvantages because they are reliable on energy sources that are fluctuating and unstable. During different seasons, the output is unstable and there is a big need to store the energy for later usage. The most common way of storing energy in wind and solar power plants is by using lead, Limh, Nimh and other types of rechargeable batteries. The cost of these batteries is too high, they are polluting the environment and the number of their life cycles is limited. The scientists have proposed the new solutions for these problems. The solutions lie in nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is used to produce high quality copper indium gallium selenide thin films that are installed in high-efficiency batteries. The batteries that are based on nanotechnology will be perfect for usage in solar and wind power plants. This way it will be possible to overcome the current limitations of renewable energy sources. The powerful and durable batteries that are based on nanotechnology will store the energy during the peak seasons and release the energy during lower seasons. The continuous output from renewable energy power plants will satisfy the power needs of city grids.

Technically speaking, nanotechnology will not directly improve the harvesting of solar wind power but rather improve the ability to store excess generated electricity. This is not the same thing as harvesting, although the end result is the same.
