The near realization of the creation of this latest generation solar cell prototype is seen as an essential milestone to possibly get the most of solar energy advantages specially in turning solar power cost-effective to all.
Solar3D, Inc., a California-based company and makers of what they call the most up-to-date, "super- efficient" solar cell has announced recently that it has successfully completed the design for the experimental model and that they're on their way towards the finishing of every design element particularly 3-dimensional photovoltaic structure, the optical element and additionally, the suitability of the design for mass production.
It took one year for their team to conduct intensive research, development and testing. The CEO of Solar3D mentioned that once all things are complete, producing these technologically advanced products will pave the easiest way for changes in the solar industry as well as the opinion of consumers with regard to the consumption of solar technology.
The 3-dimesional photoboltaic or pv cell technology provides a new technique to increase the conversion of solar energy into electricity. This breakthrough is patterned using the light management principles in fiber optic devices, in which the 3D design is employed to trap sunlight in micro-photovoltaic structures where photons travel around until they're turned into electrons.
According to the developers the efficiency of the new solar cell will significantly be higher compared to the present solar panel technology in the market. They believe that this much more efficient solar power producing breakthrough will create a tremendous impact to generate business for investors.
Jim Nelson, Solar3D's CEO emphasized that their new invention offers an economically competitive method to generate power. This can be in addition to other solar energy advantages over fossil-fuelled power sources. The company's goal is to make solar power available and reasonable for worldwide consumers. Their engineers are developing not just extremely effective solar energy instruments but also solutions that can be massively produced.
They consider this innovation as a new achievement and a significant contribution to the industry's campaign especially the SunShot initiative by Stephen Chu, the Energy Secretary. The campaign is aimed at bringing solar electricity rates at par with traditional providers.
Although, nowadays this new solar cell technology is still underway to development and nearly coming to completion, but the fact that the possible scope of the market would be worldwide, it can be considered not only a major leap in our worry about climatic change, it could also pose as among the viable solutions to the growing global unemployment and economic problem.
Meanwhile, while we are waiting around for this new product to become commercially available, you can help other consumers prepare for this inventive way of generating power by supporting informational drives and campaigns. Currently, solar panel users are actually growing in number. In fact, more and more industries and airports in the USA including Fresno, Denver, San Francisco, Long Beach, Austin, and Oakland International Airports are using photovoltaic systems that generate a portion of their total electricity needs.
