Latest Solar Products at PV Expo 2015
The Photovoltaic Power Generation Expo 2015 showcased new solar products that the world should watch out for this year. From manufacturing technologies to energy saving household equipment, these latest innovations are expected to improve quality of life and provide higher value to the energy industry.
Here are some of the promising solar products exhibited at the 8th International Photovoltaic Power Generation Expo:
Graphical Silicon Thin-Film Solar Cell
A unique graphical solar cell is incorporated in this Artist PV to create a trendy solar innovation used as a building curtain. It utilizes a laser scribing technology that allows image display of colorful words, graphics and trademarks. This is very useful to business and commercial establishments as it shows the images clearly during the day and converts the energy to AC power that the building can consume during the night to display the advertising signs.
House Construction: Simple Lay Method
A solar solution to keep homes safe from water leaks is this new method in building construction. With this, there is no need of drilling roofs. Like a grid, a simple mounting of the racks on the roof and bolting them into the rafters would be sufficient to avoid drilling one’s roof and as a result, keep the home safe. Because the rails have a sliding function, they would also allow easy replacement of old solar cells with new ones.
Diamond Electroplated Wire
Also known as EcoMep Diamond wire, this technological advancement seeks to improve the field of manufacturing and reduce processing time. The electroplated is used to secure particles of diamond and turn them into high malleable strength wire. It is use to cut silicon, as well as other hard and brittle materials including sapphire. Diamond electroplated wire does not only reduces process time, but it also improves any damage within the sub-surface and refines its overall yield.
Photovoltaic Module Inspection Robot
This photovoltaic robot is used to continually check interconnectivity, visually inspect module surface, and competently check the safety of bypass circuit for photovoltaic systems while they are in use. Because this robot is self-contained, one just have to input initial geometrical value for array and module, then the robot will automatically perform the inspection.
Bifacial Ultra-thin Glass Solar Module
While other glasses only absorb light from one side, this bifacial ultra-thing glass captures light from both sides. This yields to an equivalent of about 10% to 30% amount of electricity absorbed as compared to one-sided glass modules. Bifacial glass modules also have a coefficient of lower temperature that results to a more stable and higher amount of power output in environments with high temperature.
All-LED Simulator Iris
An Iris simulator or illuminator is used to provide the closest match to any available light ambient source or solar spectra around. This all-LED Iris simulator is developed to meet even the most demanding applications in the world of photovoltaic materials. It guarantees longer life span of light sources and lower energy consumption, thus, efficiently lighting state-of-the-art facilities.
These are only some of the latest solar technologies that would make a buzz this year. Indeed, the solar industry gets even better as more innovations are added to its product list.
