Made the first solar panels for interiorare capable of transform efficiently the light of the bulbs in electricity. The technology is described in the magazine APL ENERGY and was developed under the guidance of Fang-Chung Chen, of the University of Taiwan, for reload devices small as remote controls or toys.
For years we have been working on the development of a new generation Of solar panels more light And flexible Compared to traditional ones and the most promising solution are the so -called panels a perovskitefrom the name of the key material used to transform the energy of light into electricity. However, there are some obstacles, such as the scalability of the production methods, make its diffusion limited.
New potential applications of the perovskite panels now come from the study of Taiwanese researchers, who have succeeded in calibrate the panels to make them work at best in situations of low lighting.
Solar light produces on average a quantity of light (more precisely illumination) of about 12,000 lux and traditional solar panels are developed on this amount of light. The new cells have instead been designed for transform an intensity of much weaker lightlike that produced by lighting in the interior. THE New panels have onevery high efficiencyOf almost 40%with an illumination of just 2,000 lux. A feature observe the authors of the research, which opens new horizons for the use of this type of flexible solar panels that could be integrated to power the electronic devices that are used at home.
