Engineer Develops Photovoltaic Panel That Could Revolutionize The Solar Energy Market. Technology Can Achieve Up To 50% Efficiency Even On Cloudy Days.

A student of engineering from the Philippines has developed a solar organic panel capable of achieving an efficiency of up to 50%. To give you an idea of how good this technology is for the solar energy market, currently, a silicon photovoltaic panel, with the best energy efficiency, can deliver a maximum of 25% efficiency.

Photovoltaic Panel Can Generate High Power With Just A Few Square Meters

The organic solar energy panel, named Áureos, with 50% efficiency, can generate high power with just a few square meters. Additionally, the inventor of this new product assures that even on cloudy days, the panel can deliver excellent efficiency compared to other models already available on the market.

This occurs because the photovoltaic panel does not operate with the direct incidence of sunlight, where the photovoltaic effect takes place, but rather with ultraviolet light. Thus, even on cloudy days, ultraviolet light can penetrate the clouds and reach the new solar energy panel normally.

Perovskite Panels Also Attract Attention From The Solar Energy Market

In addition to this organic photovoltaic panel, researchers from Germany have developed this year perovskite panels that resemble marble stones. This new technique was developed to open the possibility for solar modules to be used in construction, such as coatings for warehouses or buildings.

According to Ulrich W. Paetzold, one of the researchers and lead author of the study, the sale of this technology is not yet available due to the instability of the panels and the difficulty of transferring the high efficiencies achieved on a small scale to larger scales.

With the arrival of new technology, solar panels can be integrated into still unused parts of buildings, such as facades, without compromising the architectural design.

Scientists Develop Transparent Solar Panels

Researchers from the University of Michigan, USA, recently created a solution aimed at facilitating adhesion with a new process that can make the creation oftransparent windows viable, capable of generating energy from sunlight efficiently.

The technology will make it possible to use new surfaces for energy production, which currently depends on silicon-based cells that are completely opaque. They operate within the context of solar farms, but it is difficult to make use of them in urban spaces, and they could not be used as windows.

Panels with this type of technology have limitations in efficiency and durability. Therefore, researchers are seeking ways to allow the technology to be used on a large scale.
