Lithium ion batteries: progress in solar energy technology

Lithium ion batteries are batteries that generate direct current through a chemical reaction of lithium. Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, this type of battery exhibits some advantages.

But researchers are still working hard to ensure that this type of battery has a significant positive impact in the field of solar system installation.

In addition to being the best battery currently used for solar system installation. Manufacturers will soon improve more features on batteries. These features will include:

Reduced discharge rate

Increased charging rate

Reduce weight

Ensure 100% discharge depth DOD

Thin film solar panels: progress in solar technology

Thin film solar cells use fewer materials, and the cost of each module is significantly lower than that of stacked solar cells.

The energy required for the manufacturing process is also smaller than that of stacked solar cells. It also has integrated connection modules, saving fixed and internal connection costs required for independent modules.

Thin film solar cells are a new type of photovoltaic device that can alleviate the energy crisis.

However, thin film solar cells must achieve two goals:

Firstly, they must be flexible enough to adhere to the surface of large building materials.

Secondly, they must achieve higher efficiency than traditional solar cells.

Solar windows:

In the current social environment, traditional glass windows can reflect up to 40% of the incident light. The secret here is to collect incident light through a special outer window glass coating.

Then it is transmitted to the solar energy inside the window frame through glass. This coating is inert and can work stably even under prolonged strong sunlight exposure.

In addition, the interdependence of facility materials also plays a role. And the glass windows for power generation can also be combined with thermal storage systems to achieve better energy-saving requirements.

If glass windows are applied to renovate traditional commercial buildings, it is expected to save 70% of the total energy demand (electricity, heat).

Solar coating:

Recently, scholars have begun to study whether thermoelectric materials can overcome the fundamental flaws in the development of solar panels.

Imagine your residential building wall system being able to absorb sunlight like solar panels. This is the advantage of thermoelectric technology.
