Spray on perovskite solar cells could make abundant solar electricity possible worldwide but finding the correct formula could require billions of calculations. Researchers at the University of Central Florida think artificial intelligence could help.
A research team at the University of Toronto has cobbled together a crazy steampunk contraption that shoots out spray-on, low cost solar cells.
You probably don’t think of cleantech when you think of Mitsubishi, but it’s been pushing its name into the field lately. A couple years ago, it broke the PV solar cell efficiency record. This year, it unveiled solar-powered EV charging stations at it headquarters in Cypress, California. And I’ve just read that it is developing spray-on solar cells.
New Energy Technologies, which introduced us to harvesting energy from roadways, has developed transparent solar cells which can be sprayed onto any glass surface. How? They successfully removed all metals from the solar cell. A huge challenge as the metal component in the cells act as a negative ‘polar contact.’ … [continued]
