PEROVSKITE- Brightening Solar Technology

                       PEROVSKITE,  a cheap material which can be used in making solar cells would cut the cost of a single Watt of solar generating capacity by three-quarters.

 

                       Perovskite, is a Calcium Titanium Oxide mineral species, composed of Calcium Titanate, with the chemical formula, CaTiO₃.  Also, it is available easy. While conventional Silicon Solar panels use materials that are about 180mm thick, the new solar cells use less than 1mm of material to capture the same amount of sunlight.

                          Solar cells made up of Perovskites have a simple architecture. It can easily be produced in large quantities because the vapour deposition process used to make them is compatible with the conventional processing methods for fabricating such solar cells. Prototype solar panels incorporating nanotechnology are more efficient than standard designs in converting sunlight to electricity, promising inexpensive solar power in the future.
