Created a miniature solar panel is 3 times more effective than standard
Engineers have created a miniature high-performance solar panels, which will be able to compete with all counterparts. They can be used in medical sensors, smart watches and even avtofokusiruyuschihsya contact lenses.
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have created solar cells, which are different from our competitors higher performance and miniature size, according to Science Daily Hi-tech link.
The new generation of solar panels is going to be an important stage in the development of portable electronics. While the large solar arrays, which are located on the roofs of buildings, generate electricity through a charge moving vertically, creating new panels of the current charges, moving from side to side. Thus they produce more electricity.
Moreover, such batteries easier to manufacture. This is especially true for smaller panels. They also give engineers more materials choices.
The research team Hongrui Jiang, a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has created a miniature panel made of transparent glass. Engineers are confident that they can beat the competition, which is also engaged in the development of solar cells.
According to Jiang, the technology on which they work, lets make a very compact panel, have a number of advantages over conventional solar panels. For example, they are almost three times more effective than the analogs. Their efficiency reaches 5, 2% in contrast to 1, 8% of competitors.
Now, engineers are planning to make their solar panels even less. In the future, they must be flexible so that they can be used, such as electronic contacts.
