Light and heat mix - new ideas for solar cells
Recently, the United States, researchers are developing a layer of solar cells hybrid solar thermal, solar photovoltaic cells, and the combination of thermoelectric materials used to absorb light and heat are two different forms of solar energy.Vostro 1400 battery , Meanwhile, the U. S. Department of Energy is also expected that solar cells made of tiles to replace the tiles now widely used in wood.
Researchers hope that the roof solar panels solar thermal hybrid solar conversion efficiency can reach 12%%, although the efficiency is not high, but given the low cost, is still very attractive. Currently, the models produced: In the solar panels in the outer layer of protection is a solar photovoltaic cells, followed by a thermoelectric material composed of plastic pipes. Plastic Pipe-head in cold water cooling panels to play the role of output in heating hot water for people to use. In the plastic tubing under the bottom plates of the battery — stories reinforced plastic. Photovoltaic cells to solar electromagnetic radiation into electricity, while the thermal layer of the solar thermal energy is converted into electricity. Researchers presented, plastic pipe “feature upgrades sandwich in all hybrid solar panels plays an important role, especially in summer, the temperature of the solar battery is too high, the conversion efficiency is low, pipe Plastic weather cooling device The role will be very obvious. 371785-001
Currently, other than the lab at the University of Columbia, have been tested, the battery will be in New York, Douglas College (FDA) of a roof area of 6.4 square meters of construction on the subject testing. The researchers also calculated the cost of technology to produce electricity, which is determined that a new energy technology can compete with fossil fuels, the most elementary norms.
U. S. Department of Energy said they were very supportive of this plan. Solar cell has not been able to penetrate the market, mainly because of their high initial cost, conversion efficiency is low, but the hybrid solar thermal rooftop solar panels are part of the surface of the building, and the efficiency has been improved. thinkpad r51 battery , At the same time, these low cost, durable panels are very suitable for installation in residential and commercial common on the wide range of uses and broad prospects.
