Flexible Solar Cells and more
News: Kirigami steers solar panelsA team of United States researchers had an idea to solve this problem. Instead of using flat solar panels, they thought they could use flexible solar cells that can bend to face the light.
The researchers approached Matt Shilan, a paper artist and engineer, who helped them create patterns based on kirigami: the ancient Japanese art of paper cutting and folding. Starting with paper, and then moving on to a flexible plastic called Kapton, they tested many designs.
They found that the best design was also the simplest. It contained many dashed lines of cuts, which opened up into a lattice when stretched out. As the holes opened, the surface of the plastic tilted at an angle: perfect for pointing at the Sun.
Once they’d decided on the design, the research team was ready to make the real thing. They took some flexible solar cells, attached them to a piece of Kapton and cut their design. By stretching and releasing the panel, they could aim it at the Sun, collecting 38 percent more power than a normal, stationary panel.
It could be a while before you see Kirigami solar panels on a roof near you, though. A lot more research is needed yet, such as finding out how to build a supporting structure, and how to protect the panels from harsh weather conditions.
