Solar Panel Design Upgrade Could Lower Energy Costs

What's your favorite invention?  I have a few favorites in mind.  For me, there is nothing quite as pleasurable and exciting as pinching a few fingers full of grated cheese off the cutting block and stuffing it into my mouth.  The experience of encountering the texture and body of sweet, grated cheeses are unparalleled by nearly all other human experiences.  Also, grated cheese has immeasurable value for other food recipes.  Could you imagine what a pizza would be like if you just through indiscriminate chunks of broken cheese all over it?  Can someone say, "disgusting" with me as I vocalize softly throughout my office by way of my cubical?  So, grated cheese, of course, made possible by the wonderous cheese grater, has innovated food to a level the ancients probably couldn't comprehend.  Other grand innovations have made different human experiences almost as magical.  A keen example of this innovation has been witnessed over time with the strides of efficiency and output of the solar panel.  Also, due to the changes in design and material, the costs of solar panels have continually diminished over the past decades.  You may wonder what has been happening in the solar market to dictate such a need for innovative solar panel design, well, let's explore together.       

Solar Panel Innovators

Tandem photovoltaic modules are the new thing.  In a flash of southwestern innovation and development, Arizona State University showed that silicon-based tandem photovoltaic modules take the sun like a champ.  These panels, which transform sunlight to power with higher efficiency than existing modules, will become a way for U.S. solar panel customers to find solar lower-costs and more essential benefits in the future.  They have lately published a paper that analyzes the fact that in its contemporary state, solar panel technology is reaching its limit to transfer sunlight into usable energy efficiently. The main offender of this limit of efficiency for the solar panel comes with its primary material used for construction, silicone.   Due to the expectation of this material to continue to dominate the industry of solar panel production, it is up to innovators to find new ways to pinch energy productivity out of the classic design.  

Advancing the effectiveness of photovoltaic modules is one way of lessening the cost of the solar electricity to this new mark. If met, the goal is assumed to triple the amount of solar installed in the U.S. in 2030.  And, as this appears exciting unfortunately during development, this type of technology will garner a higher price for solar of this kind.  However, like all innovations, the higher the demand, the more efficient the supply chain becomes, and the cost of solar of this type will fall.  Whereby, hopefully making this triple output solar panel system accessible to all solar panel buyers.  

Save Money With New Designs

This design is perfect for best use the full spectrum of light and waves emitted by the sun's powerful rays.  When this panel set-up is working correctly, it will exceed the effectiveness of either primary solar cells solely. 

The good news is that innovations like this will make the price of solar continue to fall in the long-run.  So many of us want to get the most out of solar, and the most efficient solar panels available will help our society move forward to become a renewable energy world.
