We have developed our own nano inks, and in this machine we will print that ink on the proprietary substrate. how is the end result and the usage of it different to other solar cells? it actually harvests all kinds of light. its sort of like artificial photosynthesis so we work under any light conditions, led, normal light bulbs, even in the shade. any kind of light. youre sort of using electricity but i guess its electricity thats being used anyway? were recycling light. the extra efficiency me...

Light. the middle layer will capture the sort of visible light and then the bottom layer captures more of the infrared, more of the heat. so maximum efficiency for conventional solar panel is about 33% whereas for this technology they can layer it with, in theory, as many layers as they want to choose different parts of the spectrum and capture overall more light coming in. despite this sunny outlook, today this solar film is only 8% efficient. with a10% version expected later this year. last ye...

I think it looks quite futuristic, and if solar sculptures like this were to catch on, i could see this being seen as a sort of carbon neutral status symbol, something for the neighbours perhaps to gawk at. i dont like the look of conventional solar panels. ijust dont like them. so i thought, "well, i want to get the home energy—independent but how can i do it with avoiding solar panels?" so i started looking into new solar technology that was out there. this is solivus�* testing yard in ken...

Now the arc is designed to capture sunlight throughout more of the day. and that is partly because its got five surfaces on which to harvest energy. and this curved design means that usually it has a sweet spot which is very useful at the start and end of the day in particular. i think it looks quite futuristic. and if solar sculptures like this were to catch on, i can see them being seen as a sort of carbon neutral status symbol. something for the neighbours, perhaps to gawk at. i dont like the...

So, i thought, well, i want to get the home energy independent, but how can i do it with avoiding solar panels? so, started looking into new solar technology that was out there. this is solivus�*s testing yard in kent where theyve been adapting the shape of the sculpture to maximise efficiency. the multilayered solar film used is provided by german firm heliotech. these solar panels are made up of three distinct layers at the moment, and the top layer will capture the high energy light. the mi...

The extra efficiency means that those silver strips that usually run through solar panels are no longer needed, freeing up new design ideas. this allows us to have free form printing — this allows us to have free form printing. printed in the shape of a circle _ printing. printed in the shape of a circle or— printing. printed in the shape of a circle or a — printing. printed in the shape of a circle or a triangle. these cells have been shaped to fit a headphone band and this robot is respo...
