New Energy Technologies revealed their 12x12inch (30.5x30.5cm) SolarWindow prototype that uses a room temperature transparent spray-on photosensitive film that can produce energy from both natural and artificial light.
Using the same technology as the world’s smallest solar cells, developed by Dr. Xiaomei Jiang at the University of South Florida, SolarWindow employs organic solar cell polymers measuring less than 1/4 the size of a rice grain. The organic polymer spray on coating is 0.1 microns thick (only 1/1000th the thickness of a human hair)
New Energy’s ultra-small solar cells exhibit almost a doubling in the output power density compared to a monocrystalline silicon solar cell, a 8-fold increased output power density than copper-indium-selenide, and more than 10 times greater output power density than flexible ‘second-generation’ thin-film amorphous-silicon.
Applying this technology to existing building facades would generate 300% more energy compared to conventional rooftop mounted solar panels. The high efficiency is complemented by the solar cell’s ability to also generate electricity from artificial light sources such as fluorescent lightbulbs.
