Korean researchers build vertical solar panels with low reflection losses

The modules are equipped with Maxeon solar cells and a microprism sheet that reportedly upholds a transmittance exceeding 99%. The microprism array is imprinted onto a PET sheet using the roll-to- roll embossing technique. A group of researchers from Korean conglomerate Hyundai Motor Group and Kyung Hee University developed a new vertical solar module concept for applications in existing outdoor structures or in urban areas where land availability is limited. "This concept is a technology that increases the amount of sunlight incident without internal change of solar cell," the research's lead ...
