Las solar panels on the roof their days could be numbered. There are a few sensors that generate energy in the home and could be the future of this way of obtaining energy. Were you surprised by what we told you about the mirror that increases the energy of the plates in the house? Well, the invention we are going to talk to you about now is even more exciting.
More and more users are interested in producing energy from their homes, without having to resort to external companies. The high price of energy services has convinced citizens of several countries that the most viable option is to change their mode of supply.
Moreover, we are in a phase of the energy transition where obtaining clean energy is most important. In this context have sensors being able to produce energy from the tranquility of our home is more than attractive.
Solar panels are banned: these sensors steal all your attention
Perovskia Solar, an entity dedicated to the development of indoor solar cells, wants to make a difference in the energy sector. What he does will be a milestone in history and could change the way we look at solar panels.
A factory is being developed in Swiss that could print a million custom perovskite devices per year. The aim is to reach the electronics market through self-sufficient consumption and Internet of Things devices, in formats such as fire alarms, suitability and sensors.
The factory you are creating will be located Aubonne (Swiss) to generate one million printed perovskite devices annually. The sheet-by-sheet production line bases its activity on the equipment available on the market, but with minor modifications.
A new home-made tool has been incorporated to easily print the encapsulant material. In addition, the entire stack of cells with contacts is printed internally and on glass substrates.
Perovskia It is a company that comes from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (BUT). Since its inception, the goal has been to commercialize custom perovskite solar devices to replace batteries. Why settle for something good when you can do something extraordinary?
This company is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to its sensors that replace solar panels
Last year, Perovskia had 15 original equipment manufacturers (OEM) while reviewing, testing or producing items. Two of them were already using another photovoltaic technology, amorphous silicon or organic photovoltaics, while the rest were working with traditional batteries.
These features were the final confirmation that its application is a battery replacement. The company’s latest generation of cells has an open-circuit voltage of 0.9 V and a power of 80 µw/cm² – 85 µw/cm² with an internal illumination of 1,000 lux. These values are retained as long as they are optimized under indoor lighting conditions.
The company’s goal is to expand the product to 100 µw/cm² – 120 µw/cm² in a development project with EMPA.
In this way the solar panels would transition to a ‘better life’ to make room for the sensors from the future. Only time will tell if this technology can replace a way of obtaining energy that was introduced years ago.
It has long been proven that self-consumption does not only have to do with solar panels. Another reliable proof is this hexagonal invention.
