Home Improvement - New Solar Technology

Solar panel systems have been increasingly criticized as bulky and unattractive. New solar technology will start making these criticisms a thing of the past.

While everyone agrees on solar energy is a clean, inexpensive energy source, it has always been a problem. The solar panel systems tended to be large and rather bulky. Frankly, I do not add them to the beauty of your home. While solar panel designs have improved over the years, a new developmentwith shingles is getting a lot attention.

Photovoltaic shingles are a major design breakthrough for those who have an aversion to large solar collector systems have. These shingles are, well, shingles. The replace the shingles on the roof, but the appearance of a normal roof. Although they are black, they have no protruding from the roof in the form of plates. Instead they just look like a normal roof and many people can not tell the difference. Obviously, this seamlessDesign is much better than the bulky designs of panel systems.

The technological breakthrough that this new technology makes possible is the invention of thin-film solar cells. As "amorphous silicon alloy technology" Known, the designers essentially took a step back from traditional solar cells developed, and think some. What it is realized, the material in sheets were not the only ones that could be used. Without being overly technical, designTeam came up with a solution where more efficient cells on a carrier material could be constructed of steel. Each super thin cell was tailored to different spectrums of sunlight capture. If on the other levels, they were very efficient at producing power.

The end result is a system that sits directly on the roof of a house or a building may be more efficient than conventional solar cells, and much more appealing from a visual perspective. If you have no excuse for the use of solar energy in thePast, the extensive system, you need to rethink solar.

Will this new technology breakthrough we have been waiting in a solar system? It is already, if you only consider the following points:

1. The U.S. military is building to use a solar-powered community.

2. Museums in Beijing, China move to them.

3. Habitat for Humanity is using the system on many of the houses built.

4. Lockheed Martin is experimenting with technology asSource of power for altitude flights.

According to many experts, this new technology represent a major breakthrough in solar energy. With skyrocketing energy prices, solar is the best solution to reducing our dependence on limited oil and gas resources. Fortunately the sun for the free electricity for the foreseeable future.
