An engineering breakthrough involving lasers, black metal, and aluminum could boost solar power to 15 times what’s currently possible. An innovative black metal technology design helps create a STEG device 15 times more efficient than previous devices, paving the way for new renewable energy technologies.
Several years ago, an optics expert developed a technique for turning shiny metals pitch black. The trick resulted in a material perfectly suited for absorbing sunlight—so much so that generators built with it produced 15 times more power than comparable devices. The team used black metal to develop a new design for solar thermoelectric generators.
The all black series creates an aesthetic appeal with a black frame and black back sheet. These panels are designed for residential homes and to provide a sleek look. Despite the dark colour of the panels, Canadian Solar’s modules still perform well in hot conditions with a low temperature coefficient (Pmax) of -0.34 % / °C.
A solar system that has batteries will work during a blackout. The reason for this is that the solar system and battery will be wired independently of the grid. There will be no danger to utility employees and your home will have usable energy. To size the battery properly we will need to know which critical loads you’d like to have backed up.
