- 2. Introduction Solarpower Nanotechnology Infrared The solar cell Types of solar cell Infrared of plastic solar cell Improvement Comparison Advantage Limitation conclusion
- 3. It isintriguing to think of photovoltaic (PV) elements based on thin plastic films. The flexibility offered through the chemical tailoring of desired properties, as well as the cheap technology The mechanical flexibility of plastic materials is welcome for all PV applications onto curved surfaces for architectural integration
- 4. Solar energyis, simply, energy provided by the sun. This energy is in the form of solar radiation, which makes the production of solar electricity possible. Electricity can be produced directly from photovoltaic, PV, cells. (Photovoltaic literally means “light” and “electric.”) These cells are made from materials which exhibit the “photovoltaic effect” i.e. when sunshine hits the PV cell, the photons of light excite the electrons in the cell and cause them to flow, generating electricity
- 5. Low maintenance,long lasting sources of energy Provides cost-effective power supplies for people remote from the main electricity grid Non-polluting and silent sources of electricity Convenient and flexible source of small amounts of power Renewable and sustainable power, as a means to reduce global warming
- 6. Nano-technology isthe engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale Offers better built, longer lasting, cleaner, safer and smarter products for the home, For medicine and for industries for ages we can introduce Nano- technology that is Nano- particles into the solar PV cells.
- 7. Infrared radiation iselectromagnetic radiation (i.e. light) that has a longer wavelength (shorter frequency) than optical (visible) light Near Infrared (NIR): Wavelengths ranging from 0.74 micrometres to 5 micrometres. Mid Infrared (MIR): Wavelengths ranging from 5 micrometres to about 35 micrometres. Far Infrared (FIR): Wavelengths ranging from about 35 micrometres to 300 micrometers
- 9. The mostcommon type of solar cells are photovoltaic Cells (PV cells) Converts sunlight directly into electricity Cells are made of a semiconductor material (e.g.. silicon) Light strikes the PV cell, and a certain portion is absorbed The light energy (in the form of photons) knocks electrons loose, allowing them to flow freely, forming a current Metal contacts on the top and bottom of PV cell draws off the current to use externally as power
- 11. • These arephotovoltaic (PV) cells based on crystalline silicon. • It absorbs visible sunlight and transferred to the semiconductor material. • This energy knocks electrons to flow freely, which results current. • Current is drawn from the metal contacts in PV cell

- 14. In conventionalsolar cell it is observed that only 35% of the suns total energy is being used The conventional solar cells are not so favorable on cloudy days In order to overcome these disadvantages we use INFRARED PLASTIC SOLAR CELL
- 15. plastic solarcell can turn the suns power into electric energy even on a cloudy day. The plastic material uses nanotechnology and contains the 1stgeneration solar cells that can harness the sun’s invisible infrared rays. nano particles called quantum dots are combined with a polymer to make the plastic that can detect energy in the infrared
- 17. It requires semiconductornano rods (7 nm by 60nm). The heart of a solar cell is a 200-nm- thick film It consists of cadmium selenide (CdSe) nano rods and blended with P3HT(poly- 3hexylthiophene)
- 19. • When Nanorods absorb light they generate an electron and an electron hole. • Electron is collected by aluminum electrode. • The hole is transferred to the plastic and conveyed to the electrode, creating a current.
- 20. Better lightcollection and concentration employed in the solar cells. In plastic cells nano rods are closely packed and transfer their electrons more directly to the electrolyte. They also hope to tune the nano rods to absorb different colors to span the spectrum of sun light.
- 23. PV CELLS Made ofsome special material called semiconductors. Expensive because of manufacturing process Requires large space, Efficiency is less It won’t work under cloudy conditioned It can’t harness the sun’s invisible infrared rays NANO- SOLAR CELLS Constructed using Nano- technology Cost is less because less material is used Compact and require less space, Efficiency is more Nano- solar cell that can turn the suns power into electricity energy even on a cloudy days It contains the 2nd generation solar cell that can harness the sun’s invisible infrared rays
- 24. They areconsidered to be 30% more efficient when compared to conventional solar cells. They are more efficient and more practical in application. Traditional solar cells are bulky panels. This is very compact. Conventional solar cells are only used for large applications with big budgets. But the plastic solar cells are feasible as they can be even sewn into fabric- thus having vast applications. Flexible, roller processed solar cells have the potential to turn the sun’s power into a clean, green, consistent source of energy
- 25. Hydrogen car paintedwith the film could convert solar energy into electricity to continually recharge the car’s battery
- 26. They arevery costly. Relatively shorter life span when continuously exposed to sunlight. It requires higher maintenance and constant monitoring.
- 27. Plastic solarcells help in exploiting the infrared radiation. More effective when compared to conventional solar cells. They can even work on cloudy days. Though at present cost is a major drawback, it can be solved in the near future.
