A CO 2 laser created the appropriate pattern in a polymeric hard mask covering the solar cell and allowed a deep reactive ion etching tool to create grooves in the exposed areas of the silicon solar cell. The flex and bend in those groove areas allowed the researchers to subsequently fold the solar cell into a spherical shape.
Large-scale spherical solar cell based on monocrystalline silicon developed using a corrugated architecture. Flat solar panels still face big limitations when it comes to making the most of the available sunlight each day.
Previous solar cell designs have fabricated tiny microscale spherical cells—sometimes made with nanowires or quantum dot cells—on top of a flat surface to help better collect both direct and scattered sunlight, says Rabab Bahabry, an assistant professor of physics at the University of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
Indoor experiments with a solar simulator lamp have already shown that it can achieve between 15 percent and 100 percent more power output compared with a flat solar cell with the same ground area, depending on the background materials reflecting sunlight into the spherical solar cell.
Additional experiments with different reflective backgrounds—including an aluminum cup, aluminum paper, white paper, and sand—showed that the hexagonal aluminum cup background helped the spherical solar cell outperform the flat solar cell by 100 percent in terms of power output.
Unlike conventional flat solar cells, Sphelar® cell takes on a spherical shape, which makes it capable of power generation with greater efficiency. This tiny solar cell, measuring a mere 1–2 mm across, holds huge potential for smart and green society. For custom design inspiring the next generation of PV applications.
