University of Illinois Scientists Indicate Little Known Solutions to Produce More Effective PV Panels

Although silicon is actually the market common semiconductor in most electric devices, which includes the photovoltaic cells that sun panels employ to convert sunlight into power, it is hardly the most effective material available. For instance, the semiconductor gallium arsenide and connected substance semiconductors give nearly twice the performance as silicon in solar units, but they are rarely utilized in utility-scale applications mainly because of their excessive manufacturing value. U. of I. teachers J. Rogers and X. Li investigated lower-cost methods to produce thin films of…

BioSolar Introduces First Fully-Sustainable Solar Cell BioPolymer Technology

The solar industry has crossed major hurdles in the last decade, working diligently to become the ideal source of green, renewable energy. However, certain obstacles still remain; petroleum engineering in solar cell mechanisms is becoming increasingly more expensive due to constant climbing oil prices and is considered environmentally impure, as it is a form of crude oil. In light of these issues, solar engineers have employed…
