3rd Generation of Solar cells

Like I mentioned earlier, there is lots of going on with the development of solar panels. Here's one example:




In the 3rd generation of solar cells we have organic solar cells which are in a development phase. This is a technology which uses organic materials in the photoactive layer. Actually, 7 percent of the layers are construed by wet chemicals. Moreover, organic solar cells are much more powerful than contemporary silicon cells. They are more flexible, thinner, cheaper and can be produced rapidly. This makes it very suitable for pervasive use to power devices, sensors and other electrical appliances. These organic solar cells can in the near future substitute the use of cables and batteries.
