Research and Markets, a known provider of industry news letters and market research reports prepared by professional research firms and market analysts, has declared the availability of their new report “Emerging Solar Technologies Market Potential".
The report studies the upcoming solar technologies such as photoelectric solar cells, quantum dots solar cells, plasmonic solar cells and others. The advancements in solar technologies has enabled the introduction of a new type of solar cells with changes in power production capabilities at regular intervals and the report provides a detailed study about each such cells that underwent changes for easy understanding.
The solar photovoltaic cells currently in use are manufactured utilizing semiconductor materials such as silicon. When a solar panel is exposed to solar light some quantity of solar light is absorbed by the semiconductor material utilized in the solar panel. The received energy initiates the movement of the electrons and makes them to move freely. The design of solar panels makes the electrons to move in a single direction. When the flow of electrons also known as electric power enters the metal contact plates kept at the top and the bottom of the photovoltaic cell the power generated by them can be transferred for other power uses. The generated power along with the voltage of the cell determines the amount of power (wattage) each cell can generate.
The report covers and provides details on various types of cells such as Thin Film Solar Cells, Plasmonic Solar Cells, Flexible Solar Cells, String Ribbon Solar Cells, Quantum Well Solar Cells, Polymer Solar Cells, etc., various technologies utilized in the production of solar cells and important companies involved in the production of solar cells.
