New coating
The new coating mainly solves two technical problems, one is to help solar panels absorb almost all of the solar spectrum, and the other is to allow solar panels to absorb sunlight from a larger angle, thereby improving the efficiency of solar panels to absorb sunlight .
Ordinary solar panels can usually only absorb part of the solar spectrum, and usually only work efficiently when absorbing direct sunlight, so many solar installations are equipped with automatic adjustment systems to ensure that the solar panels are always kept in contact with the sun for the best absorption. energy angle.

Plant material
On February 18, 2013, a Japanese research team developed a new type of solar panel using wood pulp as raw material. This "paper-paste" solar cell is environmentally friendly, cheap, ultra-thin and bendable, and may be useful in the future. land.
In order to ensure light transmittance, usually solar panels use transparent glass or plastic. The research team led by Associate Professor Nomiya of the Institute of Industrial Science, Osaka University used the plant fibers in wood pulp as raw materials, and successfully developed a transparent material with a thickness of only 15 nanometers through compression processing. Materials and wiring are embedded with pressure to make paper solar cells.
