Is Human Health Threatened by Solar Panels in Landfills? IEA Research: No

published 2020 年 04 月 10 日 18:30
The optimal method in disposing discarded solar panels is obviously recycling and reusing, which further elevates reuse technology and enhances the values of recycled products, though old solar panels are mostly accumulated in storage or are buried in landfills before relevant mechanisms are established. Is human health threatened by the pollutants from these discarded solar panels? The answer is no, according to the research conducted by the International Energy Agency (IEA). ...  more

Inspired by the self-cleaning properties of the lotus leaf, a research team from Israel’s Ben Gurion University has developed a specially designed self-cleaning mechanism that can be applied to any desert-based solar panel. With the help of the technology, a solar panel could lose as much as 98% of its accumulated dust. ...  more

Solar Conversion Efficiency Raised by 25% via Breakthrough Use of Infrared-Modulating Films

published 2019 年 11 月 21 日 9:30
Silicon-based solar panels currently on the market are unable to convert all radiations on the electromagnetic spectrum, such as infrared, which has a relatively long wavelength, so the panels’ energy conversion efficiency tops out at 30%. In response to this, researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed a new type of solar cell design by applying a thin film over existing solar cells, which can increase their energy conversion rate by an estimated 25%. Their findings are published in the scientific journal Nanoscale. ...  more
