Nanotube solar panels?


Hi
I've read a little about the MIT effort to use nanotubes to increase
the "surface area" of capacitors. I was curious if there was any
effort to do the same for solar panels? In other words I'm wondering
if anyone is researching the use of nano-technology to increase the
efficiency of solar panels.

Just a curious non-scientist wondering when I'll be able to pick up
that 3ft solar panel and capacitor combination that will power my house
at Walmart... ;-)

Thanks
