Power solar panel constructed
Posted on Dec 7, 07 09:59 AM PDT
Entrepreneur Andre Woods and electrician Nelson Mensch came together and figured out on constructing a solar panel that -they say- is up to 15 times more powerful that what you can find in the market today. According to them, Initial tests have shown that their solar panel is capable of producing a whopping 3,200 watts of power compared to a measly 200 watts when an an average photovoltaic solar panel is used. This is made possible by capturing all of the light in the solar spectrum - that's more than five times what the most efficient photovoltaic cells to date can capture. Take this with a grain of salt because, it seems weird that a 15x boost would come out from nowhere. This seems too good to be true.

yup, see it from percent point of view. Twice more powerful means 100% increase. Now if u increase the efficiency of existing cells by 15 times it becomes 10% * 15 = 150%. My God, its going to solve all energy problems. We will get additional 50 % apart frm converting 100% solar radiation. thts a joke for sure !

If todays solar panels are 15-20% efficient how and new technology be 15 times more powerful. This seems very fishy. The product would have to be more than 100% efficient.

Quite interesting to see that one module of this kind could power a car in slow stop-and-go traffic of the inner-city.
