This article from the traditional silicon-based solar panel start with the problems, leads to flexible solar panel, light weight, and can be folded, curled, or even paste in the other surfaces, etc., introduced the United States, the Netherlands, France and several other countries in the soft solar cell research situation.
Traditional silicon-based solar cell capacity, the conversion of sunlight can reach 20%, mature technology, but the biggest problem is: to be processed into a hard plate-shaped panels, which limits its use in many everyday . Light weight, flexible solar panel, and can be folded, curled, or even paste in the other surfaces, such as automotive glass, clothes and so on. Scientists constantly strive to improve its conversion efficiency to enable them to apply early.
University of California in 2002 by means of nanotechnology and polymer scientists have developed a flexible solar panel. The battery is like a sandwich, sandwiched between the electrodes on both sides of a few hundred nanometers thick organic film, is one of the most critical CdSe nanorods, nanorods that are subject to specific wavelengths of light can be generated after the electron irradiation hole pairs, resulting in potential difference. This 1.9% of the solar cell can be transformed into electricity.
Netherlands, France and Portugal scientists named in an H-Alpha Solar (H-AS) the development of flexible solar panel work, H-AS solar cell efficiency is about 13%, but low production costs (per watt 1 euro) and the common good can make up for this shortcoming is not too high efficiency. Development staff intends to H-AS solar cell to further increase the efficiency of about 10%. Their products are likely to occur within 3 years.
Sharp Corporation of Japan in 2004 developed a paper-thin solar panel. This new type of solar panel as large as two business cards, 200 microns thick and weighs about 1 gram, power generation capacity of 2.6 watts. Another advantage is its high photoelectric conversion efficiency, reaching 28.5%.
Canon, Tokyo, Japan last year, the company’s researchers invented a new material made by a flexible solar panels. Its characteristics are: resin encapsulated by the amorphous silicon photoelectric conversion layer of tile as the main material in the flexible chassis.
July 2005, Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute solar cell research group developed the world’s most efficient flexible solar cell prototype. The flexible solar panel is very low cost, but will the performance of solar energy into electricity is the traditional silicon-based solar panel twice. It is reported that the thickness of solar panel is only 0.4 mm.
U.S. Iowa Thin Film solar cell manufacturing companies use technology to produce flexible PowerFilm solar products, this technology allows semiconductor (amorphous silicon) deposited in a durable, such as paper-thin flexible polymer substrate, in order to achieve curly manufacturing process. Iowa Thin Film claims that their products are highly integrated, lightweight and low cost, and believe their technology is “transformational.” Iowa Thin Film PowerFilm, said their products are specifically designed for air and space vehicles, they can reduce the cost of photovoltaic products, only about 10% of the normal level.
According to Solarbuzz, Inc., the world in 2004 to 927 megawatts of solar equipment market, compared to 2003 increased by 62%. Global solar cell production reached 1,146 MW, of which 48% of Japan, the United States accounted for 11%. They also predicted that by 2010, global solar cell production capacity will reach 3.2 billion watts. Flexible solar panel with low cost, light weight, wide application, easy to carry, etc., as long as the photoelectric conversion rate of application level, the market prospect is very broad.
