National Labs Improving Photovoltaic Technology

Energy Efficiency No Comments »

Solar photovoltaic technology continues to improve as scientists develop panels that are able to last even longer and convert increasing amounts of sunlight into electricity. SunShot Initiative projects at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are working to develop solutions that will reduce the cost of solar panels by allowing them to transform more of the sun’s rays into electricity for decades to come. Learn more about SunShot’s 2030 goals at energy.gov/sunshot2030.

The Future of U.S. Solar Photovoltaic Technology – Q&A – Tonio Buonassisi

Energy Efficiency No Comments »

The solar photovoltaic (PV) industry continues to grow, despite intense international competition and recent margin compression.

Can innovation in technology and manufacturing allow American companies to compete and ultimately thrive in this huge but challenging market?

Professor Buonassisi will address these questions as he explores the outlook for American PV cell and module suppliers. He will begin by using an industry-validated bottoms-up cost model to compare the cost-reduction potentials of various innovative PV technologies, and how their successful development could influence manufacturing location decisions. He will also describe recent progress toward these innovative technologies, highlighting the new computational and experimental tools that have accelerated the cycle of discovery and product development — providing “sneak peeks” at the technologies that may grace rooftops in years to come. He will conclude by showcasing recent success stories of U.S. innovation.

Join us as Professor Buonassisi explains how technology innovation will open up pathways for success in the U.S. solar PV industry.

Tonio Buonassisi, MIT Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, heads an interdisciplinary research laboratory focused on photovoltaics (PV). He completed his Ph.D. in Applied Science & Technology at UC Berkeley, with additional research at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems and the Max-Planck-Institute for Microstructure Physics. He is author of over a hundred journal papers, and co-developer of a dedicated course on photovoltaics.

Prof. Buonassisi invents, develops, and applies defect-engineering techniques over the entire solar cell process, from crystal growth to modules, improving the cost effectiveness of commercial and next-generation solar cells. Several of his PV innovations have been implemented in industry, including key contributions leading to the founding of solar start-ups and a research institute.

In this video, we are going to look at Solar Photovoltaic Thermal Hybrid collector or in short PVT. Its a combination of solar thermal collectors and PV cell.
The removal of heat from PV cells is also improved and the overall output increases to 85%. The added output is in the form of heat.

Given that over 50% of the energy we consume is in the form of heat, this is a valuable device.

2.4 Introduction of Solar Photovoltaic Systems & Applications (Renewable Energy Technology)

Energy Efficiency No Comments »

The most useful way of harnessing solar energy is by directly converting it into DC electricity by means of solar photo-voltaic cells.
Photovoltaic comes from the words photo, meaning light, and volt, a measurement of electricity.
Photovoltaic cells are also called PV cells or solar cells for short.
The first practical PV cell was developed by Bell Telephone researchers.
At first, PV cells were used primarily in space to power U.S. space satellites. Now PV cells are common in many different applications.
Solar-powered toys, calculators, and many lighted roadside signs all use solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity.
