The spherical solar cells are shown to be able to collect and harvest sunlight three-dimensionally. More specifically, the spherical solar cell acts as a sun-tracking flat cell with the same ground area, and horizontal and vertical flat cells with twice the ground area in terms of the diffuse and reflected beam, respectively.
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.
The researchers describe their findings in Nature-inspired spherical silicon solar cell for three-dimensional light harvesting, improved dust and thermal management – recently published in MRS Communications – the new cells are able to track direct sunlight, exploit diffuse beams, and recycle background reflected light.
Unconventional techniques to benefit from the low-cost and high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells can lead to new device capabilities and engineering prospects. Here, a nature-inspired spherical solar cell is demonstrated, which is capable of capturing light three-dimensionally.
The flex and bend in those groove areas allowed the researchers to subsequently fold the solar cell into a spherical shape. The loss of solar cell material in the areas that have been etched out reduces the overall potential solar power output.
The spherical solar cell is fabricated using our previously developed corrugation technique applied on commercial grade single-crystal silicon solar cells (25 in 2) with interdigitated back contacts (IBC) and 19% efficiency.
