Mit Solar Panel As Thin As Bubble

The new cells which efficiently capture energy from light could offer an alternative way to power.

Mit solar panel as thin as bubble.

That heft adds to the cost of transporting and installing solar pv systems which today makes up a large part of the cost of solar electricity. Researchers at mit have created prototype solar cells so light and so thin that they can be balanced on the surface of a soap bubble without breaking it joel jean and anna osherov view 1 image. Solar cells can now be made so thin light and flexible that they can rest on a soap bubble. The new cells which efficiently capture energy from light could offer an alternative way to power.

The mit team has achieved the thinnest and lightest complete solar cells ever made they say. The panels would be most effective using thin. Super thin cells could be added to clothes gadgets and even sheets of paper mit researchers have created ultra thin proof of concept solar power cells. Joel jean and anna osherov.

More recently another major breakthrough has been made by researchers from mit who have apparently managed to design super thin versions of solar panels that are as light as a soap bubble. We wanted people to see how thin this solar cell was. Nearly all modern solar panels have one thing in common. Mit researchers created solar cells that are so thin and light that they can be draped on top of a soap bubble without popping the bubble.

Mit s latest solar discovery also corroborates the hunch of adien dywer the 13 year old boy who hypothesized and tested a solar tree design. The solar panel as light as a soap bubble.
