At this point the expense of the semiconductor has become relatively cheap compared to the cost of installation and the infrastructure of the container itself. This can be demonstrated in recent data charts suggesting that it does not matter how inexpensive the chips become as the said costs are limited by this physical barrier. This is why the solar roof that embeds the technology into the roofing materials themselves will be the final push to bring solar to every home and business application at the same cost as a typical roof itself. The esthetics of this approach also solve the argument of them being unsightly on residential applications!
It was last year I think I saw a web article that more power can be generated if the surface of the solar panel were made like the surface of DVD disk. Can you elaborate on this ? Can you tell how graphene would help to make this type of a solar panel cheaper and faster?
Screw that use superconducting diamene (bi-layer graphene) in the cells, we'll have room-temperature superconducting graphene figured out in a few years, we already have high-temperature (liquid nitrogen rather than liquid helium cooled) superconducting diamene. Then throw in HRGO-MnO2 solid state anodes to replace whatever's being used and you have the best solar panel in the world. Which still won't even come anywhere close to competing with Nuclear power, but you get my point.
A sheet of graphene one atom thick would not support an elephant on a pencil. That common example of graphene's strength refers to graphene as thick as plastic wrap. So a 1mil thick sheet of graphene. Or several orders of magnitude thicker than what your graphic says.
Is it when these holes in the p type get filled eventually that the solar cell dies? what are the properties of having holes for electrons to get and having many electrons to get knocked off respectivelly?
typically is through oxidation and the deposit of sodium onto cells that degrade output. That's why you can DIY panels and they are great for a few weeks but degrade to a trickle after a few weeks when factories did R&D and worked out encapsulations to mitigate the issue for years...

Thanks for this. Was a great overview.

What about thorium?
would appreciate understanding how the mining of graphite is going to affect the industry - ie Gratomic Limite

Where i can buy Graphene solars?

Ever have a hail storm destroy your panels? I think they have something here.

Hi
I'm from Morocco and I'm doing research on [graphene and photovoltaics]. I ask you who can provide information in a physical way.
Thank you
Speaker warning at :21...
Im using Avasva instructions to make it and I do it already :)
Please find the detailed information on graphene here -> www.greenomicsworld.com/graphene-wonder-material/
I think you can see how to make it on Avasva . This is just an advice ;)
Intriguing. But why did you have a prepubescent school girl narrate?
