New solar panel unit equipped with batteries can reduce the cost of 25%

Solar energy, an environmentally friendly and clean energy source, will play a very important role in the future. However, many ways of collecting these energy sources are too expensive for the average user. For this reason, the research team from the Ohio State University tried to alleviate this problem and successfully developed. The world's first solar cell.

This research report has been published in the October issue of Nature magazine and is a complex device that integrates batteries and solar cells. The core idea of ​​the device is to use a mesh solar panel that allows air to enter the battery and conduct a series of conversions around the solar panel and battery electrodes. Solar and oxygen are converted into electricity within the device.

Because the hybrid solar cell itself contains a battery, there is no need to pay additional costs to transfer and store the converted electricity. This will greatly reduce the cost for the industry. In addition, the University also stated that it will provide relevant authorization and guidance. According to the head of the research team, using this solar technology can reduce the cost of 25% and increase the conversion rate of the battery.
