Solar Cells in the Future
To outperform present solar cells, a new design would need to absorb more light, convert light energy to electricity more effectively, and/or be less expensive to manufacture than current designs. Solar power is more likely to be adopted by Solar Energy CompanyRedding and consumers if the energy it generates is equivalent to or less expensive than other, often non-renewable, kinds of electricity, therefore any improvements to present solar cell designs must reduce total prices in order to become widely employed. The present solution, which involves adding circuitry that allows solar cells to catch more light, does not need the abandonment of current Redding Solar cell designs. The solar cell may be outfitted with electronics that allow it to monitor the sun as it travels across the sky during the day. If the solar cell is constantly facing the sun, it will be hit by far more photons than if it is only facing the sun during midday. Designing electronics that can track the position...
