Dye Solar Concentrators Technology "Be Reborn"

According to Nano TechWire website reported that the recent Massachusetts Technology Association (MIT) successfully created a cost-effective way, the traditional glass into the high-tech solar concentrators, so that once the technology was shelved "re - The newborn. "

The use of stained glass techniques to gather and guide the solar panels from the surface of the loss of photons, office buildings and stained glass roof to gather energy.

Researchers will be painted with double-pane glass or multi-layered condenser dyes, dye absorption in the solar energy will be distributed to the glass, that is, through the channel will spread to light along the edge of solar panels. This can be color to dye chemicals, dyes in the most visible under a transparent color.

The technology in the 1970s had once set off, but because of the stained glass than plastic-stained, the more light gathered at the edge of the glass, so pronounced a failure. Today, the technology still needs a complete system to support, at least, you need 20-30 years to achieve production.
