US Redstone Arsenal developed a new type of photovoltaic solar panels

Force researchers at Redstone Arsenal announced a major breakthrough in solar power. They created a new type of photovoltaic solar panel that is smaller and stronger than any existing solar panel, at a lower cost. Currently, almost every solar panel relies on a pure silicon structure, however the bandgap (wavelength of light, which can be absorbed and converted into electrical energy) of monocrystalline silicon is just a fraction of the full spectrum wavelength of the sun.


Not only does this mean that traditional panels waste a potentially invertible amount of energy, UV and IR can also heat, deform, crack, and damage the panels.

The new solar panel in the middle of the semiconductor layer, caught a layer of metal such as gold and silver formed by the ultra-thin metal layer. With the addition of the metal layer, the panel provides a wider bandgap for energy use and can reflect harmful rays. More importantly, this panel generates as much energy, regardless of the angle of the sun, which means there is no need to fit an expensive auto-steering sun.

However, the technology is still at an early stage. Like many basic research projects, its short-term interest is not yet clear, but in the long run, it is clearly worth the investment.
