Company develops new organic solar panel that could change the photovoltaic energy sector. New product brings several benefits and advantages compared to conventional ones.

The dream of many professionals who work in the solar energy industry is to find a way to generate photovoltaic energy that unites design, sustainability and cost reduction, thus creating a solution for the generation of electricity with optimization. In this way, a new panel is emerging using a revolutionary new technology and advantageous call of OPV (Organic Solar Panel), which can change the market of renewable energy.

Understand how the new organic solar panel works

O organic solar panel, which is composed of organic solar cells, is considered the third generation of solar cells, that is, it is at the top from a technological point of view.

The new solar panel is produced in a totally different way compared to the conventional silicon panels, consisting of a plastic film, where carbon inks are printed, causing the plastic film to have layers, obtaining electrons at the top, having a positive charge at the top and a negative charge at the bottom.

The new organic solar panel offers several benefits, as it is a plastic film that uses extremely flexible, transparent and low-cost carbon-based inks. Its lightness can also contribute to the easy transport of the product and its composition further facilitates its recycling and extends its use expectancy.

A new technology It has many applications in different situations. Among them is architecture, as the film can cover building facades or roofs in a simpler way compared to the conventional solar panel. The product can also be installed in cars, cell phone charging equipment, bus stops and more.

New solar energy panel reduces impacts on photovoltaic power generation

The manufacture of this new technology, in addition to being much faster than the conventional one, can also promote a reduction in the environmental impact. The leading company in the production of these panels, called Sunew, is making several investments in the production of these panels in the Brazilian market, focusing on the expansion of this photovoltaic film.

Some examples of technology application are in a bus station in Curitiba. The company also entered into partnerships with PepsiCo, CAOA, Natura and carried out many more initiatives in the country.

A sunew points out that its technology makes the possibility of a new era of distributed generation a reality, generating a new alternative for photovoltaic energy generation for cities, smart buildings, vehicles and for their lives.

The manufacturing process benefits from the use of low temperatures that require small amounts of energy, especially when compared to other photovoltaic technologies, resulting in a low carbon footprint.

Get to know Sunew

Sunew is a world leader in Organic Photovoltaics (OPV) technology, with the largest facilities deployed worldwide.

After years of research and development, Sunew has developed a highly scalable and continuous industrial production process. The company operates with an international team and project and installation partners in more than 16 countries. Its headquarters are located in Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais.

The company serves large companies worldwide, with partners for production and installation in scale. Sunew was founded in 2015 with the mindset of revolutionizing the energy production paradigm and providing energy solutions for a world in full transformation.
