New solar panel technology 2013.

A new solar cell material has properties that might lead to cells more than twice as efficient as the best on the market today. Patented technique key to new solar power technology 2013 february 5. Making inroads in solar cell technology china holds the world s largest market for photovoltaics and solar thermal energy and since 2013 has been the leading installer of solar photovoltaics pv. Our solar panels are low profile and durable quietly converting sunlight to energy for decades to come.

An article this week in the journal nature describes the materials. The mit lab team revealed a new tech concept that captures and utilizes the waste heat that is usually emitted by solar panels. This typically released and non harnessed thermal energy is a setback and opportunity for improvement for solar technology which means this innovation could help the cost of solar to plummet even further. A secretive startup backed by bill gates has achieved a solar breakthrough aimed at saving the planet.

Integrated hardware and simple design achieve this by securing the panels close to your roof and to each other for a minimal aesthetic. The technology would be a vast improvement over the silicon solar panels in widespread use today. The technology of the current generation of solar panels is close to its theoretical maximum efficiency the fastest improving solar technology is called perovskites named after count lev.
