World’s first leaf shaped crystalline silicon solar panel
In order to provide a new life to a conventional technology and help it merge more naturally into our surroundings, a team at Greendix has developed a new process to design and produce leaf shaped solar panels. The new design is claimed to revolutionize users and designer’s stereotypical thinking that Solar panels can only come in rectangular shapes. The main technical data supplied are:
Efficiency: >13%
Average power: 1.25 watts
Max. output voltage: 5.0 V
Max. output current: 250 mA
Size: 170.5 x 83.5 x 3 mm
Weight: 4.5 g
The new product should allow solar trees to be planted even in places where real trees can’t grow or survive.
Other than the cosmetic advantages of this product, the solar tree concept can be a renewable energy source for different types of applications, for example it can be used in decorative home and garden products, infrastructure projects, electric car charging station, consumer products, etc.
