Hyderabad, April 29 (Maxim News): Yet another breakthrough in solar power generation technologies has been achieved, in the sets to revolutionise solar power generation. Japan has already unveiled the ultra-thin solar panels, which are thinner than paper.
Information culled out from different online media sites indicates that these ultrathin and light weight panels can be placed on any surface. These panels were developed by a team of researchers from MIT.
While the traditional solar panels weigh heavy and require support structures, not to speak of the fragility factor requiring some protection, these ultrathin panels require little or no supportive infrastructure
The research team led by Vladimir Bulovic, printed the electrodes on a flat sheet of plastic. After that, they glued the sheet of plastic onto a chosen surface using a slot-die coater, in which case they chose a strong fabric called Dyneema. Using screen printing, an electrode is deposited into the structure to complete the solar module. Lastly, they stripped the fabric, which had picked up the electrodes, resulting in a clean sheet of plastic left behind.
These ultrathin panels are bound to revolutionise solar energy making, as they are more accessible and portable. They can be used in different scenarios. Reports speak of the panels being able to retain 90 per cent of their power generation capabilities even after rolling and unrolling the panel more than 500 times.
These panels can be laminated on various surfaces like on a boat or on a tent or in any situation in disasters. Perhaps, these panels could also power up drones as they are extremely light weight. (Maxim News)
