Both organic material solar cells cheaper and convenient
Both organic material solar cells cheaper and convenient
Department of Electrical Engineering, Princeton University researchers has combined the latest research results, the invention can be manufactured more cost-effective solar cells (PV) technology.
Although this new power supply efficiency of solar cells is not the solar cell than the traditional high, but its cost is very low and were able to make more use of. The new solar cells made from organic materials with ultra-thin, flexible, can be affixed to cover a large area in the first-class features, the organic matter in the way printing paste or spray plastic chip in the review can be made of a large solar panels , use the volume as long as the solar panels on the roof of spread can be. In addition, the battery can also be made of different colors, making them attractive materials; or be made transparent, so that can be directly attached to the window.
The researchers now plan to combine the new materials and technology, photoelectric conversion efficiency to at least more than 5% so that the technology has commercial appeal. With the further commercialization of research and development, organic material of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar energy is expected to reach 5% ~ 10%.
