99 percent of the panels were made of PET.
Do you remember the solar panels that Prof. Paul Dastoor from the University of New Castle and his team produced with a 3D printer? If you don't, it's an evergreen story worth remembering. Let's dive in...
3D printing is a major asset for the energy industry. Four years ago, light-weight, ultra-flexible, recyclable, and inexpensive solar panels came to light by Dastoor and his team. The University of Newcastle was one of only three sites in the world testing printed solar, which used electronic inks to conduct electricity."It's completely different from a traditional solar cell. They tend to be large, heavy, encased in glass -- tens of millimeters thick,"Solar panels on the street
“Globally, there’s been so few of these installations, we know very little about how they perform in a public setting. This installation is the next critical step in accelerating the development and commercialisation of this technology. It presents a new scenario for us to test performance and durability against a range of new challenges,”They were planning to represent significant progress toward commercial availability of the material for 3D printed solar panels.
