New production technology of solar panels
The US energy company Rayton has developed a technology that can reduce the cost of alternative energy sources and even make their energy cheaper than fossil fuels.
The company has developed a technology for the production of solar panels, which uses from 50 to 100 times less silicon than other technologies.
Thus significantly reducing the cost of the most expensive components of solar cells. The company says that the patented photocell technology uses silicon wafers just four microns thick, leaving no waste and at the same time increasing the efficiency of their panels up to 24%. The essence of the technology is in the rejection of the mechanical cutting of a silicon ingot - cutting is performed using a charged particle accelerator . This leads to an overall reduction in the cost of production of panels by 60% and the price of energy produced (kWh) on the same level as the lowest types of fossil fuels.
According to the company, the effectiveness of their panels is more than the industry standard for solar panel efficiency , which currently does not exceed 15 percent.
