Solar energy is renewed with the solar panel that is transported, it is flexible and self-sufficient
The solar energy is on a roll, be it because of the brilliant minds behind the study of solar panels or by the enormous amount of money that large companies are contributing in R&D in the renewable energy sector, every month we see new contributions and discoveries of technology that will dramatically improve the solar panel.
This time we bring an idea made into reality for the convenience of the owner who wants to have solar panels. The Renovagen company has designed some photovoltaic panels that are enough flexible like to roll them up and move them without any commitment and wherever we want. A small«Photovoltaic installation in motion»… Very interesting, no?
The system uses Solar cells of selenide of copper, indium and gallium that are united with a cloth to the traction. The resistance of the different materials combined can cope with curling and not cause problems in the unfolding of the same. According to the engineer of the invention, Hingley, … “… May be fully operational within a few minutes after it is deployed. It's like a "microgrid" in a box. It has all the components built into it that you need to run a "microgrid" 24 hours "
The solar power system designed forms a mobile container that has a capacity up to 18 KWp (What is a kWp or peak kilowatt. Peak Power is the maximum that a panel or group of panels generates in the hours of maximum insolation) and is completed with a system of lithium energy storage, with a maximum of 53kWh. It has fans for ventilation, cooling and filters in the air inlets to keep insects out.
The integration of the photovoltaic technology in an ISO container and with a large battery bank, create a system of self-sufficient solar energy easily transportable capable of generating 10 times more power than competitive products, according to Hingley. The implementation of a huge solar panel that measures 5 meters wide and up to 200 meters long (Maximum can generate up to 600KW), represents a new way of understanding thephotovoltaic panel
Although in the market there are already flexible panels to buy, for sale and with a multitude of prices - not very cheap - to try to make our home solar panelThis time, it is complete and we can take it to the country party without any problem.
Let us remember that technological materials are the order of the day. Last week MIT offered us the possibility of observing asolar cell So thin, flexible and light that you can wear it on virtually any surface without knowing it's there. It is the lightest and thinnest ever produced, enough to be placed on top of a soap bubble and it does not explode.
Although for now it is a laboratory test that has proven its effectiveness, imagine if we combined this idea with the ability to move and roll it.
As recommendations we can see How does a solar panel work,advantages and disadvantages through photographs from the article infographics on renewable energy. OR how to make a solar panel and build from this curious video HERE of the manual to make a homemade solar panel for less than 70 euros.
