I would like to show you a really new and useful technical solution, which help us would be better in the energy management. This idea came from a research group in the University of Michigan. The point of the solution that the solar panel try to filter the ultra-violet and the close infrared rays, which come from the sun. Only the transparent sheet cannot generate energy. Actually, a transparent solar panel is something of an oxymoron (it includes two elements which appear to be contradictory). Solar cells, specifically the photovoltaic kind, produce energy by absorbing photons (sunlight) and converting them into electrons (electricity). The function of this sheet just transmit the rays to the edges and there are some solar panel, which already can utilize it. So it seems like a simple window (you can see it on the pictures), but on the other hand this producers for us free energy day by day. Because of the transparency we can use it on the mobile phone without any other appurtenances as well. One of the biggest problems of smart phones currently is the low battery life. In addition, the customers need of increasingly thinner phone. As a result, the most of marketers have to work under pressure. Use of conventional solar cells phones by no means a new idea, but unfortunately not practical, however, a few companies have for some time working on a solution. The unit in the picture is an extremely thin and transparent solar cells, which can then be integrated into the mobile display, which will not be striking. There is only problem with it, that basically nowadays the most of advanced computer have got at least 18-25% effectiveness, but this device works with only 1% effectiveness in Michigan. The professionals already try to find a solution for this problem. I really hope, that this article was interested and useful for you, and maybe it will be used soon.
