A California-based company has developed a solar film panel using “cutting edge photonics techniques,” that can move specific light spectra to the places they are needed most in order to increase solar panel efficiency. Using this film instead of traditional solar panel film, efficiency can reportedly be increased 300%!
Using this efficient, new technology, the cost of solar panel installations could theoretically be cut in half. By using the film panel on top, one can use significantly fewer solar cells in the production of solar panels, thereby dramatically reducing the cost per watt of electricity.
The photonics network separatea the collected sunlight into different spectrum ranges, where they can be routed to different output points at the bottom where different types of solar cells may be placed. The technology also filters out the unused solar spectrum to deliver maximum useful solar energy to the solar cell and avoid overheating.
Looks good.
