6 FAQs about [Optical Valley Solar Power Generation]

Are organic photovoltaics suitable for high-speed optical data receivers?

We show that organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are suitable for high-speed optical wireless data receivers that can also harvest power. In addition, these OPVs are of particular interest for indoor applications, as their bandgap is larger than that of silicon, leading to better matching to the spectrum of artificial light.

What is an organic photovoltaic device (OPV)?

Organic Photovoltaic Devices A typical OPV has a layered structure involving: a substrate, transparent bottom electrode, photoactive layer and top metal electrode (fig. 1). Light is converted to electrical current in the photoactive layer, which has a typical thickness of ~ 100 nm.

Can neutral-color semitransparent organic photovoltaics improve solar energy harvesting in integrated buildings?

Neutral-color semitransparent organic photovoltaics (ST-OPVs) offer potential opportunities to improve solar energy harvesting in integrated buildings. Here, high-performance multifunctional neutral-color ST-OPVs are successfully fabricated by integrating a Ag/TeO 2 /Ag/TeO 2 -based Fabry–Perot resonant optical coating (FPOC).

How efficient is a solar-to-electrical conversion rate compared to a photovoltaic cell?

We measured a solar-to-electrical conversion rate of 6.8%, exceeding the performance of the photovoltaic cell alone. The device operates more efficiently while reducing the heat generation rates in the photovoltaic cell by a factor of two at matching output power densities.

What is a photovoltaic system?

This dual function of photovoltaic (PV) systems is beneficially exploited for a wide variety of applications ranging from self-powered long-range free-space optical systems, where a large receiver exhibits significant advantages, to self-powered wearable devices as part of the future IoT 15.

Can solar fiber light be used for photovoltaic power generation?

Conclusions A combined solar fiber lighting and photovoltaic power generation system based on spectral splitting (SSLP) technology has been proposed in this study, with visible light for house lighting and near-infrared light for photovoltaic power generation.
