New, ultrathin photovoltaic materials could eventually be used in mobile applications, from self-powered wearable devices and sensors to lightweight aircraft and electric vehicles. A race is on in solar engineering to create almost impossibly-thin, flexible solar panels. Engineers imagine them used in mobile applications, from self-powered wearable devices and sensors to lightweight aircraft and electric […]
Lightweight solar panels power up Maritime Museum
Australia’s largest lightweight solar panel system has been installed on the roof of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Heritage Centre by Australian solar company Energus using innovative new light, flexible panels. The Southern Cross Renewable Energy Fund (Fund), supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), provided a $6.6 million investment into Sunman Energy Co […]
