Australian Printed Solar Panels

The best solar panels are more efficient perform better and will operate for 25 years.

Australian printed solar panels.

Advocates of the new technology say it can revolutionise the way solar panels are made and distributed in australia and around the world. But hype aside printed panels are less efficient than silicon based panels they only last a couple of years and making them isn t as simple as hitting print on your home computer. Victorian labor offers half priced solar panels for homeowners in 1 24bn pledge read more. The first demonstration project for printed solar is powering a light display in lane cove town centre on sydney s north shore with panels stuck on the roof of a covered walkway powering the entire set up.

The university of newcastle professor has made this vision a reality creating the first printed solar site in australia. Our pilot scale roll to roll printing lines have successfully fabricated 30 centimetre wide flexible solar modules that can be cut to length. Australian leaders in printed perovskite photovoltaics by developing new materials and processes we have achieved efficiencies of greater than 19 per cent on small scale devices. Australia s first commercial installation of printed solar cells made using specialised semiconducting inks and printed using a conventional reel to reel printer has been installed on a factory.

There are just three demonstration sites at this scale that we know of anywhere in the world so australia has joined quite an elite group of global leaders poised to make this technology a commercial reality he said. Sunpower and lg manufacture the best solar panels available in australia both provide the best warranties the highest performance ratio and the most efficient modules. The printed solar technology is not as efficient as the silicon based one and degrades much faster. It is a word coined from the kaurna warra aboriginal language spoken by indigenous people in the adelaide plains.

Tindo solar is a designer and manufacturer of high quality and technologically advanced solar panels in australia and supply them all over the world. Traditional rooftop photovoltaic solar panels use silicon to conduct electricity. The tindo solar panel production line is highly automated and helping to create the next generation of high tech green advanced manufacturing jobs in australia. Interestingly the company s name originated from tindo which means sun.

So do they deserve the hype.
