Method to prolong the OSC lifetime-Update#1
Method to prolong the OSC lifetime and its economics Author: David Judbarovski, principle inventor, retired engineer, Israel judbarovski@gmail.com Short CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-judbarovski-1390944a/ Last articles: http://judbarovski.blogspot.be Archive since 2006 yr.: http://judbarovski.livejournal.com It is known, that the OSC-s (organic solar cells, polymer solar cells) degrades quite quickly (up to 2-3 years) at natural bright insolation and have quite low energy efficiency (up to 7-10%). It is known too, that the smaller OSC – panel, the thinner and cheaper in cube its cost, while the OSC made by roll-to-roll technologies can be 100-1000 cheaper than Si-PV, being now about USD 0.5 per watt, or USD 500.0/kW. I can offer to shield the OSC by a thin cover to diminish twice the insolation and can suppose it can triply increase the OSC life time up to 7 years and increase its energy efficiency up to 10%, while 0.33 mm steel support wou...
