@researchbuzz "This innovative approach presents a new way to produce lightweight, flexible solar films that can be used on surfaces such as rooftops and other unconventional surfaces that could not normally stand the weight of solar panels. Together with their anticipated low cost, this could significantly enhance the roll out of solar, particularly in developing countries, and make a real difference in the drive to replace fossil fuels with sustainable solar energy."

The next-generation #SolarCell is fully #recyclable
12 February 2025
Anders Törneholm
"In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous #solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one. The solar cell is made of #perovskite and the main solvent is water."

my first #offgrid #meahtastic node is online... it doesn't feel quite right yet and mistakes have definitely been made, but that's what you learn from? what you can see here: a #nibble from wonderful @skickar paired with a 5W #solarcell and a small buffer battery with charging electronics. The battery will be replaced by a 10Ah #LiPo and the solar cell will also grow. next version will be built with a #rp2040 or with a #nrf52840 or maybe ... many thanks to your inspiring talk at #38C3 Kody!

Diatoms, a type of phytoplankton, offer a promising solution due to their silica frustules, which can be processed into high-purity #silicon suitable for #SolarCell production. However, impurities in silicon can significantly reduce solar cell efficiency. A recent study employed Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (#LIBS) to analyze the elemental composition of diatomite.

Making the *existing* technology more efficient is helpful, but what we REALLY need is to invent a #SolarCell that reacts to more than just one single wavelength of light (UV IIRC.)
A solar panel capable of generating electricity from even ONE MORE wavelength of light (infrared?) would DOUBLE the output of #SolarPanels. 🤔
New York inventor Charles Fritts created the first solar cell in 1883.
