The use of renewable energies is gradually becoming established not only in the professional field, but also in homes. The installation of domestic solar panels is allowing many to save enormously on their electricity bill , and even more so in a year as turbulent in this sense as is, and the best of all is that this whole panorama promises to improve enormously within bit.
And solar generators , although with a very good premise, tend to present two fairly common problems: their performance when generating energy and, above all, the storage of excess energy. In countries like Spain, with a large number of hours of sunshine throughout the year, they do not usually pose a complication. However, when there is bad weather and the rays of light are conspicuous by their absence, depending on solar energy can become unviable.
The new trend in solar generators that is going to change everything
Taking advantage of all the sunlight is that great pending issue for solar generators and honeycombs. Generally, the highest peak performance they can offer in this regard is just shy of % , which represent C Level Executive List s a huge waste. This is not the only thing that affects their ability to capture energy, since the movement of the Sun and the design and placement of the panels also affects how much energy they can get as the hours of the day pass.
Luckily, the energy sector is one in which research is the order of the day and, nuclear fusions that defy thermodynamics aside, there are researchers who seem to have found the key: glass pyramids . These small crystals would collect sunlight that falls on them from any angle, thus allowing its transfer directly to the solar panels without loss.
Although there are already motors that move the panels, or even solar concentrators, these crystals designed by Stanford University claim to transfer more than % of the light they receive to the photoelectric cells. The gain is enormous, although the latent problem of efficiency in energy conversion remains behind, where we find a fairly poor, although solvent, rate of return.
The name of this new system is AGILE (Axially Graded Index Lens) and it is an inverted pyramid made of glass. Composed of several layers of glass and polymer, it manages to focus the light it receives to concentrate it in its lower part. In this way, without mechanical systems or moving parts, it could not only increase the efficiency of capturing sun rays, but also reduce the size of solar panels without losing energy capacity . A giant leap that hopes to begin manufacturing sooner rather than later.
A form of energy that grows at an unstoppable rate in homes
More than % of the energy generated in Spain during has been through renewables , as revealed by the Climate Summit held this year. Of all this amount, photovoltaics covers only % , although the expected trends have been met, and the figure has been increasing little by little in the final stretch of the year.
Despite its small percentage, solar has been the most used renewable energy in Spain along with wind. Its growth is unstoppable. In fact, compared to the figures recorded in , in there will be more than double the amount of photovoltaic solar energy in our country . The evolution of the technology it requires, together with the lowering of installation and maintenance costs, and greater information about its benefits, have greatly propelled it within the domestic sphere.
In addition to that, the presence of subsidies and aid from the State invites you to take the step. Looking ahead to , it is expected that our country will continue to be the second market in the European Union in terms of solar energy generation and, in fact, it is estimated that photovoltaics will be the renewable energy that grows the most in the coming months, not only in the national panorama, but also in the European one. Advances that are being studied, such as that of AGILE, make it very clear that there is a way forward, and that it will bring important changes.
Aid will continue to be offered, new solutions will continue to be proposed and costs will continue to be reduced. All of this, in the end, will allow you to enjoy much more economical and efficient photovoltaic installations, generating enormous profitability with which more and more homes will be encouraged to take the step. One that, in addition, is enormously positive for the environment, since it is nourished by a totally natural resource, inexhaustible and without emissions or pollutants. Green energy will continue to spread.
