Solar Energy ArticlesSolar Panel Technologies to Derive Enhanced Power Output In this article, we are going to have a look at some of the top technologies of this world that can be implemented in the solar panels so that it is possible to derive an enhanced form of output from them. Nanotechnology Powered DSSCs These kinds of solar panels are brought to the design by the nanotechnology experts at the University at the Ohio. These solar cells can be availed at a very low cost. They are sensitive to the dyes. Hence they are called as Dye Sensitive Solar Cells (DSSCs). They are an implementation of a mix of ruthenium and titanium or zinc oxide. They have a great capacity in order to cause absorption of the solar radiation. They only face a power transfer problem in order of make use of them. The Nanowires are used in order to make the transfer of the absorbed energy possible. The scientists still have the enough drive to make use of the solar panels by harnessing this technology and improve the power transfer and make it better by the day. World’s most efficient solar panels by an Australian Developer This is the invention by the researchers at the University of South Wales in city of Sydney in Australia. They have developed the most efficient solar cells in the world. This makes use of the 43 percent of the solar radiation. The design is based on the multi cellular aspects which equip the solar panels to make them suitable for utilizing the spectrum of light between the visible light and the lower frequency range of infra red. Spherical Solar Cells These solar cells were first developed and manufactured by the solar cell company division of the Texas instruments from Japan. It contains a p-n-p arrangement of the solar cells in an array. They are placed altogether in the radiators which make sure that the radiation of the sun is absorbed from every possible angle on to the surface. The inner surface corresponds to the p-electrode and the outer surface as the n-electrode. This setup is cost effective, being cheaper than the solar panels up to an extent of 5 years. Day4 Energy Panels Day4 is a technology in the solar panel industry that is developed and marketed by a Canadian firm. They are launched in the market so that there can be reduction of the overall costs availed in the solar panels by 25 percent. They make use of the bus bars in order to capture the energy required. The use of bus bars causes an increase in the temperature of the arrays and also causes the reduction in the proper effective area to be lesser so that there can be more amount of absorption. There can be an ample amount of interaction between the heat energy absorbed and the photovoltaic cells. They make use of the copper wires to cause the avoidance of the excess heat formation. Silicon solar cells from Sanyo Electric The technology of this company popularly called as HIT (heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer). These solar cells that are based upon the raw materials of the silicon crystals, exhibit extraordinary amount of efficiency. The company has been highly successful in causing the elimination of certain losses in the solar cells of Sanyo. These are mainly the minimization of the absorption losses and the resistance losses. The unique design behind such an innovation is like the sandwich which consists of the crystalline silicon and the above two coating layers are made up of ultra thin amorphous silicon. This design incorporated by Sanyo electric ensures that the maximum absorption is witnessed by the solar cells making its way into the top solar panel technologies of the world. Related articles
