Zig Zag Solar Panels

Facade based pv panels.

Zig zag solar panels.

Standaard pv panels faced at the sun. 3d solar panels can produce 20 times more energy than flat panels by natt garun march 28 2012 we see the trend in 3d technology everywhere. Now a team of mit researchers has come up with a very different approach. Backyard revolution teaches you how to install this system on your property in just 20 minutes.

Backyard revolution is quite literally a revolutionary program that teaches you the easy steps to building your own energy source in as little as 4 hours. Standard vertically oriented facade based pv panels. Researchers have found that when you create a system of power generation using solar panels in zig zag patterns. Most solar panels are placed flat on rooftops because they are designed to harness solar energy when the sun is directly overhead.

Then you can reduce almost all of the energy waste that s inherent in this system. However when the angle of the sun s rays hitting the panel. Amazingly the results from the structures they ve tested show power output ranging from double to more than 20 times that of fixed flat panels with the same base area. It s based on a recent discovery made by a team of mit researchers who found that by using solar panels in a zig zag pattern you receive 100 sun exposure on just 2 of surface the traditional solar panel systems require.

Fully optimized sun oriented pv panels supported by reflecting panels. Mit researchers just unveiled a new three dimensional solar array that can produce up to 20 times more energy per square foot than traditional flat arrays and it s potentially more efficient. Building cubes or towers that extend the solar cells upward in three dimensional configurations. And no you don t have to fork over a fortune to install massive solar panels or any of that.

With more panel surface area you ll generate more electricity and because you haven t changed the underlying concept zig zag pattern you won t lose any efficiency. Harvest energy in a future proof and aesthetically pleasing design maintaining maximum freedom of design for architects. A new approach to solar energy was discovered by a team of mit researchers and it involves zig zagging solar cells to get 100 sun exposure on just 2 of the traditional layout.
