22.Jan, MIT: 18 Times More Power. Researchers Have Developed Ultrathin Lightweight Solar Cells Archived Message Posted by Jim_Carlucci on January 26, 2023, 1:50 am MIT: 18 Times More Power. Researchers Have Developed Ultrathin Lightweight Solar Cells "They are one-hundredth the weight of conventional solar panels, generate 18 times more power-per-kilogram, and are made from semiconducting inks using printing processes that can be scaled in the future to large-area manufacturing." “A typical rooftop solar installation in Massachusetts is about 8,000 watts. To generate that same amount of power, our fabric photovoltaics would only add about 20 kilograms (44 pounds) to the roof of a house,” "We know the manufacturing process can be further streamlined by printing the releasable substrates, equivalent to the process we use to fabricate the other layers in our device. This would accelerate the translation of this technology to the market” "This lightweight solar technology can be easily integrated into built environments with minimal installation needs." https://scitechdaily.com/18-times-more-power-mit-researchers-have-developed-ultrathin-lightweight-solar-cells/ Message Thread: 22.Jan, MIT: 18 Times More Power.
