Double The Power, Half The Panels: Scientists Tout Tandem Solar Cells For Capturing Record Energy
Double The Power, Half The Panels: Scientists Tout Tandem Solar Cells For Capturing Record Energy
The tandem solar cells, developed by a team of researchers at the energy giant Solar energy industry experts say the development of tandem panels could increase the efficiency of solar power.
太陽能行業專家表示，串聯電池板的發展可能提高太陽能的效率。
What Happened: Tandem solar panels, which stack two solar materials on top of each other to capture more of the sun's energy, achieved a record-breaking 33.89% efficiency.
具體情況：串聯太陽能電池板將兩種太陽能材料堆疊在一起，以捕獲更多太陽能，實現了創紀錄的33.89%的效率。
This is a significant leap from the 20-22% efficiency of commercially available solar panels, reported Wired, citing a study published in Nature.
這一創新比商業上可獲得的太陽能電池板20-22%的效率大幅提高，據Wired報道，援引《自然》雜誌發表的一項研究。
The tandem solar cells, developed by a team of researchers at the energy giant LONGi, combine silicon and perovskite materials. This innovation allows the cells to capture an additional 60% of solar energy. It also reduced the number of panels required to produce the same energy. It also cuts installation costs and land requirements for solar farms.
LONGi能源公司的研究團隊開發的串聯太陽能電池將硅和鈣鈦礦材料結合在一起。這一創新使電池能夠捕獲額外60%的太陽能，同時減少了生產相同能量所需的電池數量。它還減少了太陽能場所的安裝成本和土地要求。
While the current efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to about 29%, perovskite materials, discovered less than two decades ago, have emerged as the ideal complement to silicon technology. Their light absorption tunability allows them to capture high-energy blue light more efficiently than silicon, thereby increasing the total tandem efficiency.
儘管硅太陽能電池的當前效率受限於約29%，鈣鈦礦材料作爲硅技術的理想補充物已在不到20年前被發現。它們的光吸收可調性使其比硅更有效地捕獲高能藍光，從而增加了總串聯效率。
Why It Matters: The recent breakthrough in tandem solar panels could have far-reaching implications for the solar energy industry. The increased efficiency of these panels could significantly reduce the number of panels required for solar farms and cut installation costs and land requirements.
The development of tandem solar panels comes at a time when solar power is gaining significant traction. Solar companies, like Sunrun Inc (NASDAQ:RUN) and Enphase Energy (NADSAQ:ENPH), could benefit in the long run if technological advancements make residential solar more attractive. The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:TAN), an ETF that tracks the solar space, traded down more than 2% Tuesday as the overall market declined amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
爲什麼重要：串聯太陽能電池板的最新突破可能對太陽能行業產生深遠影響。這些電池板的提高效率可能顯著減少太陽能場所所需的電池數量，減少安裝成本和土地要求。
串聯太陽能電池板的開發恰逢太陽能能源正在獲得重要推動的時期。太陽能公司，如Sunrun Inc（納斯達克：運行）和enphase energy（納斯達克：ENPH），如果技術進步使居民太陽能更具吸引力，從長遠來看，可能會受益。太陽能行業板塊ETF-Invesco（紐交所：TAN），這種追蹤太陽能領域的ETF，在週二隨着整體市場因中東地緣政治緊張局勢而下跌了超過2%。
