JAPANESE EXPERTS HAVE CREATED TEXTILE woven with BALLS - Solar
Japanese researchers have developed technology into the fabric of miniscule solar cells, having the form of pellets with a diameter of 1.2 millimeters. This technology will enable a more efficient way to use solar cells to generate electricity.
The new technology is the result of the search team of researchers from the Center for Industrial Technology in Fukui Prefecture, as well as textile manufacturing company in the city of Fukui and manufacturer of solar panels in the city of Kyoto.
Usually, solar panels are used on the roofs of houses in the form of panels that absorb sunlight and generate electricity. However, the panel typically have a flat shape and oriented to absorb only light in one direction.
According to the researchers, window curtains and coverings dome shape made of textile with solar panels, will be able to directly absorb sunlight during the day, thanks to the flexible nature of the tissue and the spherical shape of meager battery life.
