Plastic solar cell
Introduction
•First introduced by Dr.Ching Tang at Kodak research labalotary in 1986.
efficiency.
Advantage: High efficiency -up to 30% has been reached. Normally 10% for commercial product.
Disadvantage: Elaborate and very expensive method required to produce the material.
Working Principle
A p-n junction.
• When p-doped and n-doped semiconductors are
• Power for facilities like repeater stations for tv, radio etc. in
Uses
remote locations.
• Alternative energy source for household purpose where
normal electricity is not feasible.
• Power source for small devices like pocket calculators.
Motivation:
A Burning Necessity
• Dwindling fossil fuels.
Environmental impacts.
Flexible substrate.
•Plastic solar cells help in exploiting the infrared radiation from the suns rays.
They are more effective when compared to the conventional solar cell. The
major advantage that they can even work on cloudy days. They are more
compact and less bulkier.
•At present, cost is a major draw back, it is bound be solved in the future
oAs explained earlier, if the solar farms can become a reality, it
could possibly solve the planets problem of depending too much
on the fossil fuels, without a chance of even polluting the
environment.
