"You need to learn to read." Actually reading is not the problem.

The problem is that sunlight (or the solar emission spectrum, if you prefer fancier words) does not have any notion of "layers." Anyone with a modicum of scientific education would know this and would then go to the source article to figure out what information this author has gotten screwed up.

In the article, we find that the cells "employ three layers of semiconductors." _That_ is what the author garbled into his nonsensical sentence about the "solar spectrum" having layers and his equally nonsensical notion that conventional "collectors" collect only one of these "layers."

Particles and waves have nothing to do with it. You can now go and stand over on the other side of the room with the rest of the scientifically ignorant.
