Organic decorative panels turn solar panels in interior decoration

A new method of manufacturing the panels allows the energy of the Sun to charge small devices and sensors. Organic solar panels are just 0.2 mm thick including the electrodes and polymer layers where there is light energy. Produce organic solar panels roll method where you can make up to 100 meters of layered film per minute. This technology is based on screen printing.





Now solar panels can be made of different design. They can be placed on internal and external surfaces such as Windows and walls and on machines or other devices. This gives the opportunity to use solar panels not only as functional items but as works of art.





The researchers tested the technology using a solar cell in the shape of a leaf. Two hundred such sheets to create one square meter of active solar panel. This allowed to generate a current of 3.2 amperes at a power of 10.4 watts. It is worth noting that organic solar panels much less efficient than conventional silicon panels.
