Renewable energy technologists are developing innovative solutions to accelerate solar energy production levels with the help of IR radiations.
FREMONT, CA: Harvesting solar energy from sunlight and heat is one of the brilliant energy solutions offered by emerging technologies. The method of utilizing visible sunlight through solar cells is rising to popularity. Solar energy technology providers use electrical or mechanical devices to convert the visible sunlight into solar energy and save in the batteries or smart generators. But what about the invisible Infrared (IR) light in the spectrum? Renewable energy scientists take advantage of the latest technologies for converting the IR light into power and increasing the efficiency of solar technology.
The innovative, standard designs of the latest solar panels are integrated with nano-tubes, which recapture the heat from invisible IR radiation. Scientists use nanotechnology to take full benefits of the natural resource- sunlight. The latest nanotechnology-based solution converts the heat energy as light in different wavelengths and recycles the produced light into solar energy. To solve the long hold issue- though the energy produced by the IR light is clean but very less in quantity, the engineering teams implant strategically adjusted conductors and insulators inside the nano-tubes- present in smart solar panels. The presence of conductors and insulators in particular ways accelerates the conversion of heat to light and light to energy, resulting in high-energy productivity without any wastage.
In recent years, solar energy has witnessed remarkable growth, both in terms of popularity and market value. Not only renewable energy technology benefits from the rising demand for clean energy, but utility customers also get to save capital from paying lesser energy bills. Installing solar panels solves the issues of buying electricity from third-party power providers, as the smart solar panel produces the energy and saves the extras for future usage. With the continuously emerging technologies, renewable energy providers look forward to investing in projects for producing and extracting clean solar power.
