Can the organic solar cells satisfy our thirst for Energy?
The research in organic semiconductors have provided a vital break through in the field of electronics.So , why cant we extend this new field to meet our ever rising demand for energy?
not for now, their efficiency is too low.
From the same surface you gain only 1/7 or 1/6 of the electricity gained from a common Si based photovoltaic panel.
We need to do much more research and develop better organic semiconductors.
However organic based semiconductors are really cheap if mass produced respect to the production of electronic grade Silica.
So yes, i’m looking forward in a near future to cover every roof, tent,house, car and every flat surface with organic solar panels.

Flexible Solar Cells $89.76 With the decline in the world”s natural resources, the need for new and cheaper energy sources is evolving. One such source is the sun which generates heat and light which can be harnessed and used to our advantage. This reference book introduces the topic of photovoltaics in the form of flexible solar cells. There are explanations of the principles behind this technology, the engineering required to produce these products and the future possibilities offered by this technology. The chemistry and physics of the cells (both organic and inorganic) are clarified as well as production methods, with information how this can then be applied to the nanoscale as well. A complete guide to this new and exciting way of producing energy which will be invaluable to a variety of people from material scientists, chemists, electrical engineers, to management consultants and politicians. |

Physics of Solar Cells $81.21 Based on the highly regarded and extremely successful first edition, this thoroughly revised, updated and expanded edition contains the latest knowledge on the mechanisms of solar energy conversion. The textbook describes in detail all aspects of solar cell function, the physics behind every single step, as well as all the issues to be considered when improving solar cells and their efficiency. Requiring no more than standard physics knowledge, the book enables both students and researchers to understand the factors driving conversion efficiency and to apply this knowledge to their own solar cell development. New exercises after each chapter help students to consolidate their freshly acquired knowledge, while the book also serves as a reference for researchers already working in this exciting and challenging field. |
