A 3D solar cell with record efficiency. Solar3D has unveiled its innovative three-dimensional prototype of a photovoltaic cell, capable of achieving a revolutionary internal efficiency of the 25,47%, a percentage hitherto unthinkable for traditional solar cells, which currently stop betweenl 15 al 19%.
Thanks to collaboration with Panasonic, the company has found inspiration in fiber optic devices and the light management techniques that are used to create them. Their three-dimensional design includes photovoltaic micro-structures that trap photons, keeping them "on hold" until they are properly converted into electrons. This is why the cell will be able to maximize yield even when the sunlight is not strong.
“We are delighted to announce the successful implementation of our initial prototype. After rigorous research and analytical effort to complete an optimized design of our 3D high efficiency solar cell, our next challenge was finish a working prototype"Changwan Son, director of technology for Solar 3D, enthusiastically said in a statement. And the company has succeeded in the enterprise.
Solar3D claims that this new generation of solar cells will be "powerfully more efficient“, So much so as to make the entire solar sector more accessible. “We have made important strides using commercial equipment, processes and procedures.
We believe that old 2D models are a thing of the past. The next step will be to definitively unleash the full potential of 3D technology and fully exploit the energy offered by sunlight ", declares the company, which is on the right path to revolutionize the photovoltaic sector forever.
