Asa de borboleta aumenta absorção de células solares em 200%

Por sua vez, as asas da borboleta Pachliopta aristolochiae têm minúsculos furos - nanofuros - que ajudam a absorver a luz em um amplo espectro, de forma muito mais eficiente do que as superfícies lisas - é por isso que ela é de um preto tão profundo. Em um exemplo clássico de biomimética, Radwanul Siddique, do Instituto de Tecnologia Karlsruhe, na Alemanha, conseguiu reproduzir essas nanoestruturas das asas da borboleta em células solares comuns de silício.

O resultado foi um aumento na absorção da luz pelas células solares de 200%. "A borboleta que estudamos é muito escura. Absorção de luz e geração de eletricidade O ganho de 200% na absorção de luz parece estupendo, e é, mas ele representa um limite teórico, não se traduzindo inteiramente em um ganho na eficiência do painel solar como um todo em termos de sua capacidade de geração de eletricidade.

As we reported when Tesla officially unveiled the Powerwall 2 last week, the new battery pack is a game changer in home energy storage. The new price point for twice the energy capacity and the integrated inverter are hard to beat specifications for the competition, which had significantly increased since Tesla introduced first generation Powerwall over a year ago. In order to get a better idea of how disruptive the new Powerwall 2 can be, we compared it with some of the other important residential home battery pack solutions. The price points of most solutions have so far made them unavailable to most markets in the US.

Like Tesla’s first generation Powerwall, other companies have concentrated their efforts on markets with higher electricity rates, like Australia and Germany. How Data And Machine Learning Are Changing The Solar Industry. Like most sectors, the solar industry is rapidly embracing ways to analyze and crunch data in order to lower the cost of solar energy and to open up new markets for their technology.

The rise of data tools—algorithms, machine learning, sensors—are driving investments in, and acquisitions of, solar startups, while entrepreneurs are launching new companies that are using data to solve various solar industry problems. Meanwhile, big companies are spending money on tracking, monitoring and evaluating data from solar projects worldwide, helping to lower the cost of generating energy from the sun. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the solar sector is the latest to embrace the value of data.

Other traditionally non-digital sectors, like the auto industry, oil and gas, and agriculture are turning to managing data as a necessity to keep their technology competitive and their companies in business. 99mpg.
