Decorative transparent solar cells

membrane.
The door is there a reason mentioned. New from Fraunhofer ISE is not intended for roofs and facades for. The battery and produces a current, and creates a blackout in the room, because it is - a translucent.
And the Port This can be any color, but still - made ​​from any picture. Because the authors see it develop as part of the walls, the same doors or shutters for windows. And yet - as a new element for the billboards and branded signage. It is noteworthy that the color is not the silicon solar cell. Instead, it is responsible for energy production a thin layer of organic dye, mixed with some nanoparticles, which is enclosed between two glass plates.
In the manufacture of this panel is used screen printing, which allows you to create a battery with an integrated picture.
Efficiency of the new battery is low - 4%, but it is not a rival to the classic panels, which are usually placed on rooftops to generate large amounts of electricity. But it can serve as an important supplement in which the energy functions are combined with decorative. Tests in a variety of weather conditions showed that such a battery works for at least several thousand hours, and testing of new items on the durability will still continue.
