A flexible module. (Courtesy: W Liu) Most silicon solar cells are completely rigid, but researchers in China, Germany and Saudi Arabia have now succeeded in making them bend and flex like paper. The new flexible cells have a baseline power conversion efficiency of 24%, and they retain 96.03% of this efficiency after 20 minutes of flapping in a laboratory-generated version of wind. They are also robust to temperature changes, losing just 0.38% of their efficiency after cycling between temperatures of –70 and 85 °C for two hours. Conventional silicon-based solar cells make up 95% of all solar cells on the market today.…
