Imagine being able to run small devices or gadgets like a keyboard using solar energy. While there are devices that use solar panels to provide power, such as Lenovo’s latest peripherals, this Canadian startup is committed to making any small product run smoothly. The company is called Solaires Entreprises and created photovoltaic modules perovskite can increase efficiency by 35%.
The key to these PV modules is that They are intended for interiors.. While this can be a problem since there is less sunlight inside the home and therefore the panels may not function or harvest energy as accurately as outside, Solaires Entreprises’ invention uses perovskite. It is a mineral with a crystalline structure, combining various chemical elements, which has become very popular in solar energy.
Cause? Unlike silicon, commonly used in solar cells, Perovskite provides greater efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. It is also cheaper and more flexible, allowing solar panels to be produced smaller and thinner.
These solar panels are 35% more efficient
We reiterate that the perovskite solar panels developed by Solaires Entreprises are intended for use in home devices. More specifically, to supply power and recharge batteries for products such as smart locks, peripherals, etc. All this, in addition, with efficiency 35% energy conversion with interior lighting, the company says.
Solaires photovoltaic modules have a high energy conversion efficiency (35%) for indoor lighting, which would otherwise be wasted. The product allows you to self-charge battery-powered devices such as wireless keyboards, smart door locks, electronic price tags, sensors, IoT devices and more.
At the moment Soler pilot production line launched solar panels which they claim are completely suitable for producing these solar modules and finally distributing them to their customers. This is an important step forward in terms of sustainability and can help save a lot of energy given the rise of small devices for the connected home.
