As the size of technological devices get smaller, so too are size of eco-technological devices. The solar energy company Sulfurcell has created ultra-thin, modular solar panels to generate energy.
The modular solar panels from Sulfurcell can be added to any building as they are entirely self-contained (they don't need to be built into the existing structure). Special design details of the modular solar panels include a protective glass exterior, hair-thin semi conductor layer, 82 strips of thin-film solar cells on each module, and rear-ventilation for efficiency and cooling.
What's Driving This Trend
- Minimalist Solar Panels
- Opportunity for companies to develop ultra-thin, modular solar panels that can be easily integrated into any building.
- Self-contained Energy Systems
- Potential for creating self-contained solar panels that don't require building integration.
- Efficient Cooling Technologies
- Innovation opportunities in developing rear-ventilation systems for solar panels to improve efficiency and cooling.
Who This Affects Most
- Solar Energy
- Solar energy companies can explore the development of minimalist solar panels and self-contained energy systems.
- Green Building
- The green building industry can benefit from the integration of self-contained solar panels that require no structural modifications.
- Ventilation Systems
- Ventilation system manufacturers can seize the opportunity to create efficient cooling technologies for solar panels.
