With The Goal Of Promoting Sustainability, The Institute CSEM Brazil, In Minas Gerais, Developed A Solar Panel Made From Organic Material, After 10 Years Of Research

The Institute CSEM Brazil is developing an organic solar panel. The technology has been researched for over ten years at the Institute’s applied research center, located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The solar energy technology is lighter and more transparent than conventional models available on the market.

Transparent Solar Panel

The goal of the institute in Minas Gerais is to obtain green energy everywhere, thus, the organic solar panel, when produced on a large scale, will be 30 times cheaper than traditional silicon solar panels available on the market.

At the moment, the organic solar panel from the institute in Minas Gerais is still being tested; however, certain machines have already been built and adapted for the printing process.

How Is The Organic Solar Panel Built?

The solar panel is made of a plastic film, onto which carbon-based inks are printed that can transform sunlight into energy. Although it has been in development for 10 years, the production process is simple.

The presses, which are similar to those used for newspapers, print the five layers of ink onto the plastic film to create the electrons. Thus, there are two intermediate layers, where the top layer serves to conduct positive charges, while the lower layer transports negative charges.

The last layer, which is printed on the plastic film, is the metallic terminal, which serves to close the entire circuit. For the production of the panel to occur, the whole environment must be yellow, due to the sensitivity of the material used to create the organic solar panels.

During the 10 years of studies to create the organic solar panel, scientists in Minas Gerais discovered that blue light radiation would directly impact the quality of the organic panel, and therefore, yellow lights are essential for the energy production process.

Benefits Of The Organic Solar Panel Created In Minas Gerais

One of the great advantages of the organic photovoltaic panel is its lightness and flexibility, and in addition to all that, it is easy to apply to any type of surface, but certainly the strongest point of the solar panel is that it is produced from organic materials, making it a more sustainable option compared to those made from silicon, which are more common in the solar energy market.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Owner of the largest pig farm on the planet, the Chinese company Muyuan Foods sent executives to Mato Grosso to study pig production in Brazil, as a step by China to get closer to the source of feed and ensure food security, although the investment has not yet been confirmed.

Archaeologists discovered in Pompeii the remains of a man who faced the eruption of Vesuvius holding a bowl on his head as a shield, a lamp to light the way, and ten bronze coins to restart life, in a find that confirms the account written by Pliny the Younger almost 2,000 years ago.

At 16 years old and without money to buy equipment, a student from the Sertão of Paraíba built his first telescope with two margarine buckets and a wall mirror, and today he brings space observations to schools and squares in the region with increasingly powerful devices.
