Print solar cells like printing money

Australian scientists have studied how to produce solar panels by " printing " photovoltaic units that transform solar energy into electricity on polymer substrates and make major changes in solar power use.

Solar cells will be printed as money printing. (Illustration).

One of the dominant advantages of solar cells compared to other renewable fuels is that they are small, flexible and researchers can think of ways to build and use them.

From small batteries, people used to spray on the surface of a ' base plate ' to create layers, and use them creatively, but can solar cells be obtained by a stamping method. Whether it is like printing letters on paper or not (The production of printed circuits applies this method)?

That is exactly what Australian researchers wondered and had the answer: absolutely possible. Not only that, these solar cells have begun to be tested .

The most important commodity in the future that CSIRO Group is studying is plastic solar panels with the help of Australia's Securency International printing company.

Solar cells from flexible organic materials will be printed on this polymer by large corporations into large, thin sheets, like money printing.

When using printing techniques, the panels can be used to cover a wide area such as a roof as well as for small areas suitable for use.

The researchers say their technology allows for the production of cheap, fast solar cells with large volumes and will cause major changes in the solar energy industry.

The project, with a cost of A $ 12 million which lasts for 3 years, is halfway and looks promising.
