Organic Photovoltaics – The Solar Revolution
OPV – Organic Photovoltaics – are the 3rd generation of solar panels and promise to revolutionise the industry. Flexible, easy to install and lightweight, organic photovoltaics use much less energy to manufacture than conventional solar panels. They can also generate electricity from daylight as well as sunlight, and will even work when positioned up to 70 degrees off axis.
Simply put this means they will work even when it’s cloudy and they don’t need to be pointed directly towards the sun.
OPV panels are very thin and offer themselves to a range of applications currently unavailable to the current crop of 2nd generation silicon-based solar panels.
We are excited to be involved with these products which will be launched here in the UK in January 2011. For more information visit our page on Organic Photovoltaics
