The new technology of production of solar panels
US utilities Rayton developed a technology that can reduce the cost of alternative energy sources, and even make them energy cheaper than fossil fuels.
Company has developed a technology of solar panels, which uses from 50 to 100 times less silicon than other technologies.
Thereby significantly reducing the cost of the most expensive components of solar panels. The company says the patented technology of production of solar cells using silicon wafers just four microns in thickness, leaving no waste and at the same time increasing the efficiency of the panels up to 24%. The technology in the rejection of a mechanical cutting of the silicon ingot - cutting is done using a particle accelerator . This leads to an overall reduction in the cost of manufacture of panels by 60% and the cost of energy produced (kWh) on the same level with the lowest fossil fuels.
According to the company, the efficiency of their panels more than industry standard efficiency solar panels , which is currently does not exceed 15 percent.
