Low-cost solar photovoltaic cells

Israel’s Bar Ilan Universitynanotechnology expert has developed a new type of low-cost photovoltaic cells, the photoelectric conversion rate of traditional silicon solar cells are equivalent, but cost can be reduced by 40%%.

Such photovoltaic cells is the use of nano-technology design, and distributed in the plastic plate by sponge-like micro-nano-dot matrix composed of glass installed in the conductive metal wire constitute a fundamental part. In order to enhance the ability to absorb sunlight, the researchers injected to the semiconductor materials dell inspiron 1545 battery, organic dye inside.

Bar Ilan University, Nanotechnology Zabban Professor Director of the Institute, initially they have developed photovoltaic panels photovoltaic cells by small matrices, each photovoltaic film is only one square centimeters, due to photovoltaic films is small, the space between the plate and sheet and more sunlight in the above can not be converted into electrical energy, the conversion efficiency is relatively low. In view of this situation, they will each light the area of dell inspiron 1525 battery solar cells increased to 100 square centimeters, the photovoltaic cell matrix markedly enhanced the ability to capture the sun.

Zabban professor said that in the solar energy research and development, the cost is an important factor. To make solar cells are widely accepted to be its production cost is lower than conventional fossil fuels, while the infrastructure cost and allowing developing countries to accept them. Their results of this study can effectively dell latitude d520 battery reduce the cost of photovoltaic cells for solar cells occupy a much broader market to open up the road. In addition, he is also studying the reduction of platinum use of solar cells in order to further reduce costs.

At present, the Jerusalem a solar energy company is working with the Bar Ilan University Lenovo thinkpad t60 Battery , promoting the commercialization of solar photovoltaic cells. They hope that the next five years, photovoltaic cells can enter the market successfully.
