Flexible Photovoltaic Solar Energy Converters PP159

Purpose and scope

Electric energy generation under the influence of solar radiation. Self - contained flexible and ultra - light power supply of low and medium power

Main advantages of the development

Flexible photovoltaic solar energy converters based on hetero CdS/CdTe system. The most important indicator is the reduced power, which for individual solar cells is 2. 5 kW/kg with an efficiency of 11. 4 % , and for the mini module - 1. 9 kW / kg with an efficiency of 4. 6 % . The world's best industrial analogue is solar panels with three cascade photovoltaic converters InGaP/GaAs / Ge, which operate on the concentrated solar radiation. This analogue has a reduced power of 0. 18 kW / kg

State of intellectual property protection
