Solar energy has long been one of the most promising sources of unconventional energy. As fossil fuels fade into the background, solar is all set to emerge as the most preferred source of energy. The last few years have seen some groundbreaking innovations and technological changes in solar energy. VEMC is the leading Solar Energy Company based in Mumbai.
In This Blog, We Tell You About 12 Of These Brilliant Breakthroughs That Are Going To Set Solar On A New Trajectory:
Boost in Efficiency:
Solar energy is becoming more efficient than ever before. This is due to innovative design features such as inverted metamorphic multijunction (IMM) cells.
Introduction of Perovskites:
Every top solar company in the world is excited about the introduction of perovskites in solar panels. These are a group of synthetic materials with crystallographic structures. They have some significant benefits over silicon: they’re cheaper, more efficient and lightweight.
Introduction of Organic Solar Cells:
With the advent of organic solar cells, photovoltaic cells can be printed onto flexible material like plastic sheets. These are lightweight, flexible, quick and cheap to manufacture, and of course completely organic.
Solar Windows:
By applying photovoltaic glaze on windows, you can convert sunlight that comes in through your windows into electricity. The glaze contains minuscule photovoltaic cells.
Solar Balloons
Solar Installation in cloudy areas may not yield great results. Scientists are now developing solar balloons that will float way above the clouds and generate and supply electricity there.
Hairy Solar Panel Technology
Hairy solar panels are a marvel of nanotechnology. These tiny, light-absorbing nanowires can absorb more energy than a silicon cell.
Thin-Film Solar
These are made of extremely thin (less than a human hair) electricity-producing layers. They are highly flexible, affordable and easy to transport.
Floating Solar Farms
Solar panels can take up a lot of space which could otherwise be useful for productive work. This is why floating solar farms have captured the imagination of every leading solar power company. Solar panels are installed on a body of water such as lakes, ponds, reservoirs and oceans.
Solar Paint
If solar panel installation seems too much of a hassle, just wait till solar paint takes over. Once developed into a full-fledged technology, solar paint can be applied to buildings, vehicles and even roads.
Space-Based Solar
Solar installation in space is an exciting prospect. Scientists are working on installing solar panels on satellites that will beam tremendous amounts of solar energy back to Earth.
Wasted-Light Solar Panels
Only about 40% of light is visible to the human eye. Wasted-light solar panels have the ability to absorb and generate electricity from non-visible light. This includes ultraviolet and infrared light.
Microinverters
With micro-inverters, you no longer need to have a large number of solar panels to produce and convert solar energy. You can simply have one panel and one inverter to start off your solar power generating station.
These innovations are expected to have huge implications wherever solar energy is used: business, transportation or household.
