    From the accelerator to the roof: CERN of Geneva delivered the first 300 high temperature solar panels made thanks to "ultra vacuum" technology, which offers the heat chambers a exceptional insulation, significantly reducing heat loss and significantly improving its efficiency.




    Intended to cover 1.200 square meters of roof of the main terminal of the'Geneva International Airport, the super technological panels will be used for both the winter air conditioning that for the summer and will allow recover the energy produced by light spread more efficiently than traditional ones. This is why they are particularly suitable for colder and less sunny climates, where classic solar panels are less efficient. L'ultra-high vacuum it provides, in fact, heat chambers of the panels with exceptional insulation, significantly reducing heat dispersion and significantly improving efficiency.

    “We had - the physicist explains in a note Cristoforo Welcome father of the new technology applicable to the renewable energy sector, which has been working on vacuum technology at CERN since 1970 - temperatures of 80 ° C inside the panel when the panels were covered with snow ". "The panels - said Benvenuti - were born from vacuum technologies and were developed for purposes of fundamental physics, that is, for basic research, and it is very gratifying to see them used today for applications for renewable energy".

    Enrico Chesta, head of the Technology Transfer Section of the CERN knowledge group, explains that “this new generation of solar panels is an innovative green technology, the result of a partnership between CERN and industry. Like medicine and information technology, energy is becoming a domain where accelerator and detector technology is finding successful applications. " Cern thus proved to have strengthened its knowledge transfer policy in order to optimize the positive impact of high energy physics on daily life.

    But the most malicious are already insinuating that CERN is trying to show this practical side only to compensate for the criticisms that they complain about the waste of tons of public money for scientific experiments not always very useful. Above all because, after having turned upside down the scientific world and that of the international media for the discovery of the presumed superluminal speed of neutrinos recorded in the Gran Sasso laboratory, the Institute had to deal with the denials coming from team checks. research and third party experiments.
