Graphene-Newton Solar Panel & Cell
Graphene-Newton solar panels are an advanced type of solar technology that use Graphene a form of carbon that is just one atom thick, as a key material in the solar cells.
Graphene is known for its good electrical conductivity, strength, and is a flexible material, which makes it a promising material for improving the efficiency and performance of solar panels which is more than 40%..
Graphene solar panels and cells represent a promising advancement in the field of solar energy. Their potential to enhance efficiency, flexibility, and durability makes them a significant area of interest for researchers and manufacturers
Key Benefits:
40% and above efficiency
Generates electricity at night time.
Generates electricity in cloudy weather and rainy season due to the force of rain drops.
Silicon Solar Panel
Silicon solar panels ,have several drawbacks. They generally offer lower efficiency compared to emerging technologies, are bulky and heavy, and have an energy-intensive manufacturing process. Their performance is sensitive to high temperatures, and they can be fragile, prone to damage from impacts or harsh weather. Additionally, the cost of raw materials for production can fluctuate, and recycling silicon panels at the end of their life is complex. Their rigid structure also limits flexibility, making them less adaptable for portable or flexible applications. Lastly, silicon panels can have aesthetic limitations, detracting from the visual appeal of installations.
