Created from carbon, Solvus describes the material as an \u201corganic photovoltaic\u201d (OPV). The fabric absorbs sunlight and creates a consistent stream of energy as a result.<\/p>\n
Best of all, its flexibility means it can be bent into certain forms or shapes, and then glued to flat, verticle, horizontal or curved surfaces. The replace panels when the need to ensure the integrity of the building\u2019s structure is not compromised.<\/p>\n
Measuring one-tenth of the weight of \u2018normal\u2019 solar panels<\/strong>, the designs aren\u2019t required to use rare materials or toxic materials in order to be created. They\u2019re also able to withstand conditions for up to 20 years.<\/p>\n The current issue with traditional panels is that they often don\u2019t remain stable when temperatures rise through natural sunlight. These new designs allow for 13 per cent increase in efficiency, eliminating this common problem.<\/p>\n Interestingly, the panels are also able to collect light from a much wider spectrum of light, allowing them to operate remarkably on greyer days.<\/p>\n The overall plan is to house the locally-produced energy in electric vehicle batteries, which can then be distributed rapidly.<\/p>\n The film is bent into an arc shape to create units that have curved sides. Because of this design, they\u2019re able to span a considerably large surface area, absorbing more light without the need to focus on where the sun is positioned directly.<\/p>\n It\u2019s expected that a single unit will feature a 1-kilowatt system, offering 1,000 kWh annually across the UK. But before the rollout begins, issues surrounding water leakage and degradation need to be resolved first. The journey remains an exciting prospect for the UK\u2019s renewable energy target and the industry overall.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The company behind the concept is planning to install the panels across the roofs of industrial buildings.
