For a long time among experts, the idea has been imposed by the idea to create solar panels transparent and make them window glasses. This is incredibly practical: one surface can be used as efficiently as possible not only for viewing and passing light into the room, but also to supply the house with electricity. Laying on the roofs of familiar photocells, bulky and heavy, is much less convenient and practical. Researchers at the State University of Michigan have long managed to make solar panels quite transparent. Subsequently, their development is able to provide the states of 40% of the energy of the country’s necessary country.
Professor of chemistry and material science of state -owned Michigan Richard Lunt said in an interview that extremely transparent solar panels embody the prospect of renewable energy. Scientists have analyzed their potential. Transparent fluorescent solar batteries collect only the light invisible to the human eye. It is in this way that in the future, with the development and improvement of technology, which has the potential of performance growth, it is planned to generate as much energy as it turns out from the now common solar photocells. In the future, such panels are supposed to be installed both in the windows of houses and in cars, and even in mobile gadgets. Currently, the product is effective only by 5%, at the same time the efficiency of solar batteries familiar to us is from 15 to 40%.
The developed innovative material is thin and resembles plastic. He may, without blocking the review, produce electricity. The development base is microscopic organomolecules created by the same command, absorbing the waves of light of a certain length invisible to the eye of a person. The material is easily tuned to the absorption of one or another component of sunlight (say, infrared light spectrum or ultraviolet radiation).
It is worth noting that now in the USA, solar panels are producing only 1.5% of all energy. To maximally reduce the use of fuel of fossil species, researchers from various scientific institutions are continuously working on the generation of fresh technologies in the field of alternative energy. According to the calculation of Michigan scientists, in America from 5 to 7 billion square meters of glass surfaces. If all this glass is replaced with transparent solar materials, it will be possible to cover about 40% of the US needs for electricity. What is the cost and complexity of the production of such panels, their resistance to various and changing environmental factors due to ecology, is not specified.
