Solar Vest
Solar Vest is not only a fashionable Vest, but also your reliable assistant for charging the electronic devices of all kinds, when all power sockets are out of reach. Vest is equipped with 4 safely protected weather proof solar panels. You can pull these panels out and leave in the sun - if you are working or relaxing than put it in the open air. The principle of this clothing is as follows: These Solar panels absorbs solar energy and accumulate it in a battery located in the front left pocket. When any of your equipment needs to be recharged, just connect it to the battery. The Solar Vest contains useful tools for managing the solar energy, in its pockets, as well as cables with a variety of power connectors. It fits almost any mobile phone, laptop, camera etc. This hitech clothing can be purchased for only $140 dollars.

Silicon Solar Cell Efficiency

Tags: , ,

UNSW ( University of New South Wales) has enhanced the efficiency of Silicon Solar Cell. Before enhancement the efficiency of Silicon Solar Cell was 24.76% . Now they have made it more efficient. Silicon Solar Cell is providing 25% efficiency.
CERD Scintia Prof. Martin Green told that it was the new discovery in Silicon Solar Cell technology. Now we have latest technology to mix up sunlight to generate the more power from silicon solar cell. In more detail he explained that during the day the power of sunlight changes so the spectrum efficiency also changes so we have made the variation stable and now getting more efficient cell.
Dr Anita Ho-Baillie has also admired the struggle and said that it would open the new horizons of Solar Cell chemistry. UNSW has provided the gateway to research more on this topic. Dr Anita Ho-Baillie said that they had not wasted the blue light as it was absorbed more and remains close the surface of the cell. And this point has made the cell more efficient
