Now Holograms Make Improved Solar Panels
May 26, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of Arizona researchers recently developed an innovative technique to capture the unused solar energy that illuminates a solar panel. The team created special holograms that can be easily inserted into the solar panel package. Each hologram separates the colors of sunlight and directs them to the solar cells within the solar panel. This […]

Pure Perovskite Crystals For Better LEDs and Solar Panels
February 5, 2015 | Leave a Comment
University of Toronto engineers have grown large and pure perovskite crystals. Perovskite crystals are an emerging family of solar-absorbing materials that could clear the way for cheaper and more efficient solar panels and LEDs. These materials are particularly good at absorbing visible light, but had never been thoroughly studied in their purest form: as perfect […]

Micro Machining to Make Fresnel Lenses For Solar Panels
February 12, 2014 | 2 Comments
Researchers in China suggest micro-machining could be used to create almost flat Fresnel lenses that boost the electrical efficiency of solar panels. Using Fresnel lenses to design solar panels could lead to fewer solar cells in a panel taking in the same area of light. Such designs could be much less expensive. The team’s technology […]
