Today there are thousands of individuals and companies across the globes who are working hard to develop alternative energy solutions for future generations. As they hold the key towards the future, without them, our planet will eventually head into a blackout. The major sources of alternative energy such as solar, wind, geothermal and other energies. Solar power is produced by collecting sunlight and converting it into electricity. This is done by using solar panels, which are large flat panels made up of many individual solar cells. It is most often used in remote locations, although it is becoming more popular in urban areas as well. Introduction of Nanotechnology in PV solar cells claims to be able to produce electricity at 5-6 cents/kilowatt hour almost as cheap as power from coal and at about one-third the cost of other solar power. Conventional silicon-made solar panels have a stiff competitor from CIGS semiconductor printed solar panels - composed of copper, gallium, indium and selenium - which perform as good as conventional solar panels in lab conditions. An inexpensive printing process makes it ideal for mass production by an automated facility with robots and other hi-fi equipment. |
