- Though the use of solar panels is on the rise, it still only represents 1.5 percent of total energy consumption in Europe. There are many reasons for this, starting with the intermittent nature of solar energy due to bad weather, the difficulty of storing it, and the cost of solar panels.
Researchers at the Institute for Microtechnology in Neuchatel, Switzerland are working on ways to make solar energy more cost-effective. This includes using less expensive metals such as copper, as well as new technology to better absorb sunlight.

Asking questions in Italian language and answers in French and translated to us in English.
This is the ( Next-Gen) modern europe, never grows.
Amazing video ((((.

MegaGus66 It's Switzerland, they have 4 languages there, Romanche, French, Italian and German
more power from the sun, more green energy, more clean energy and more sustainable energy for the future...
Nice information, keep it up!
"solar panels are ugly", they're fucking beautiful.
The interviewer is an italian, the scientists French and the documentary is in English. LOL.
Hahah!
Welcome to Europe. And no, they are Swiss not French, how dare you;)

Yeah, Europe is amazing! And don't forget you could add that the panels would be used in other countries so you could have some extra nationalities in there

Chennai is so hot (sunlight)they can use solar panels more to save energy for the multy purpose..
Great production facilities
this is one interesting video..
Much power! Much wow
My works too. Used Avasva handbooks and build it with no problems.
I just love that Linda :D
Awesome!
really good to me
"People often say that solar panels are ugly" Who cares, the people who say that are clueless, and unable to appreciate the amazing technology and potential in solar panels. I think that terracotta one is ugly, would look like random slabs of wood on your roof.
how are they ugly? so do the majority of roofs look better then solar panels? no, they don't.
His point is that it doesn't matter.
Great idea and I think solar panels are beautiful, much better than looking at composite shingles with sprinkles on them that do nothing but deteriorate and leak at a high price!
Great comment George
Actually you're wrong! Photovoltaics contribute 4% of total energy consumption in the EU as of 2014. This doubles every two years or less. Meaning 8% by 2016 and 32% by 2020. Germany is leading the way, and already have 6% solar, scheduled to have 12% by 2016 and around 50% by 2020.
sonofhendrix Electrical energy consumption is not the same as total energy consumption. Germanys primary energy consumption is about 3800 Terawatthours per year. And Germany produced only 33 TWh with photovoltaics in the year 2014. Less than 1 percent of the total energy consumption. Sure, there is potential for much more. But it's a long way to go.
An old adage, but very true. The further technology goes, the faster it goes.
You may want to take a look into Fraunhofer’s zeolite pellets... They retain heat an incredible amount of time... I'm just passing on info as I come across it. I'm not sure how or where to get it, but I think it shouldnt be overlooked. Those who make cell's should understand
solar panels energy, project New technology, system so very nice, information thanks,
Good solar panel technology which more effective and more efficient.
I really want to get this.. I really want to try going off the grid with solar panels..
what about combining the conventional solar panel with one that captures the infrared spectrum at night, therefore using both the sun and the moon.
I want to use solar energy in farming, can you let me know price a set with 100 panel and how much power i will get? how much price if i want to install 100 panel?
What about roof tiles that collect solar energy or roof tiles that do not transfer heat or cold ( much like a aerogel like material).
It does not matter how efficient PV panels are proven when the in house testing is with a air temperature of 26c, when the true temperature of glass panels is up to 80c, which is why PVT is the next genration of PV +
Nice presentation. Although, British commentators still refer to cloudy/rainy weather as...bad weather. Why ?
Amy, you forgot to mention the long term d-rate for the the two examples shown.The loss in efficiency between poly and mono needs to be factored in for the consumers ROI,wouldn't you agree??
What’s name of new technique solar panels
Yes. That's future in case of less investment for solar pv.system. Not now because of the high price of the unit...
Function over form. If it works use it.
Where can you get these newer solar panels???
Hey MrKZizzle, I work with a company called SunPower that creates and installs this type of panel (or rather our very similar design with Maxeon solar cells, giving us the world record for highest efficiency commercially available panels.) There is no difference in installation, and the pricing can end up being either higher or lower for a full system depending on individual differences. Message me if you'd like to check out what that pricing would look like for your home!
When will the PV industry also point out the drop in outputs as the solar panels increase in temperature on sunny days up to 80c? here in Kenya where I am now, PV panels could be destroyed by such strong sun within 5-10 yrs? can anybody gurantee the wafers will last 20-25 yrs in such temperatures?
Does anyone here know where can I buy multi-junction solar panels?
No word about the Efficiency. The current panels have an Efficiency of 17% to 21% a square meter.
an english narrator, a french scientist and a italian journalist walk into a research center...
A Swiss francophone scientist 😀 can tell from the accent lol
That's the strength of Europe.
Sun power panels are better than renogy ?
Thanks David for replying. Please send to me price list for domestic using.I want to install at least 1kw to 2 kw.
I did something similar with Avasva solutions.
excellent madam
What is the power output .
that's very good
We always do the best consumer product in the world but if ordinary house hold can not afford the product. What is meaning of doing it? what is the use? Think about it
how can we get them in Nigeria?
Where to buy I am in india
New cells would be if they were different and started from zero, not merely another variety of the same cells invented in 1954 in the United States .
Are these pannels available now
Hindi old songs
How much energy does a panel produce?
260-330 watts times about 5 hours a day or 1 - 1.5 kwh/day.
5 hours is good, we only get like 3-4 here. Basically they produce about as much as peeing in the ocean compared to how much power a modern society uses
How much cost of this type panel & what is deference in installation?
Hey Viral, I work with a company called SunPower that creates and installs this type of panel (or rather our very similar design with Maxeon solar cells, giving us the world record for highest efficiency commercially available panels. There is no difference in installation, and the pricing can end up being either higher or lower for a full system, depending on individual differences. Message me if you'd like to check out what that pricing would look like for your home!
Thanks David for replying.Sorry for delay of saw to your feed back.Actually i want preferable price for domestic
power generation with affordable cost & space.Please guide to me what is best for home.
Love it guys contact me I m in Somalia so match sun we need you expertise
I want battery that hold more enegy than li ion more than solar cell. But solar cell is good too.
Get your thinking cap on. You might come up with a solution or two, make a widget that does it and get very rich
First, 2:51.. she is cute... next, why not affix IR converters to collect the absorbed heat energy and covert that to electricity... The efficiency drops with heat, so once you siphen that hear into a mechanism to extract energy from the heat, this process can be tuned to cool the photo voltaic cells. Keeping them in their optimal operation zones... Just a thought... 15%...
Paul Gdry Clever folks build solar furnaces alongside their PV arrays. you can do it very simply with a shallow box with a clear glass lid. Stack the box with used tin cans in parallel columns. air drawn in at the bottom is heated in the sunshine and can be fanned into the home, used to pre-heat water or converted into other energy... and you can do it for pennies... lots of videos on YT. i wouldn't try to overcomplicate the PV design by trying to incorporate thermal conversion... it will complicate the market which is still a black art to a lot of people
The plan is quite simple for most people... INSULATE, INSULATE INSULATE, Generate from renewables and reduce your overall consumption. We all have too much shit plugged into the mains and we are hooked on electricals
Next-Gen Solar Panels: More Power from the Sun the new answer to our high electric bill problem and C02....
what is the point of solar panels?

Sun Power company's panels are made in Germany and assembled in the USA. These are the latest, high quality, the best.

i a country brand’ is important to you, be aware that the location of a company’s headquarters is not always the same as its factories. (For example, SunPower is a premium American brand that has manufacturing plants in both the US and the Philippines.) All else being equal, knowing that a company’s head office is relatively close or in a familiar country could help you make a decision.
why the other guy have a female dub voice but good info
how about reasoning over which energy source is good for life?
we all know solar is but how much longer we need to wait to be on most homes
+joel cuevas why die you ask is cause it a emotion with little content to it?
More Power from the Sun.. its the next big thing for the future energy..
Solar is coming. That's been the story for the last 30 years.
+DrgnFlys , there has been a huge financial benefit to achieve a decent efficiency in solar cells for the past 30 years.. It's just that the problem is very difficult to resolve.
+DrgnFlys , many countries have no fuel at all, it would benefit them to have better solar efficiency but the problem is difficult. The efficiency used to be around 12% 30 years ago now it's around 15%.
There's no dificulty in storing solar energy. Batteries have been around for five thousand years! We have much better batteries than they had five thouusand years ago. If you have solar panels on your roof you want to keep the snow off of them. of course you can't do that during a snow storm. You have ot wait until it stops snowing to clear the snow. You can build the mounts for the panels so they tilt upward providing a high angle to let the snow slide off. Of course that menas more cost in the beginning. Also you might need a hydraulic system for raising the panels. Especiallly if they have snow on them.
Graphene is the future... Cost is quite questionable
Why not think of making panels the size of roof tiles then get the government's to make it the standard to use them. The government would benefit as the excess power can be but on the national grid. Millions of houses would be the energy producers. Would be expensive and crazy but worth it no?
Matthew Murray solar shingles are already available for about a decade. Economically, they don't hold a candle to conventional, flat-plate PV modules.
At this point of time, implementing laws to force people to buy and install any type of solar PV system on their roof is certainly not a clever thing to do, since the technology has just become economically viable in a number of places and soon will not need any support (subsidies) at all.
Governmental policies, however must ensure that regulations are set into place to let solar PV unfold freely. That's, in my view, a much smarter way.
If you want to force people, then maybe I could agree on electric cars. For example, I would be in favor to make EVs mandatory for taxi-companies.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_shingle
No not force the people to buy them. Get the government and companies that deal with this technology to supply them.
Matthew Murray Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Are you sure you have thought this through?
I'm saying that people should not have to pay for the solar panels just like they do not pay for regular roof tiles, roof tiles are supplied anyway before buying a house. I'm saying that the government and companies that deal with solar panels and property development should supply solar panels automatically for free like they supply regular roof tiles. Should all be included into the overall house cost.
I'm not saying that the government should force people to buy solar panels but the opposite and get the government to supply solar panels or make it a regulation for property developers to include them when building houses like they include roof tiles or any building not just houses. We won't be the only ones that benefit from this, the environment of the country will, free power plants everywhere, that don't create environmental waste. It would save money.
Matthew Murray That sounds horribly convoluted to me. Someone has to pay for the premium cost of an electrical power system on the roof. Who?
Is it just me, or shouldn't we simply erect these next gen panels onto some rooftops and test them throughout adverse weather conditions? I feel that would be far more accurate in assessing the viability of using them than these silly scientific tests done in a laboratory environment.
is it possible in INDIA ?
Absolutely. India - in fact the entire sub-continent - is well-blessed in the sunshine department. Harvest as much as possible and import less oil!
Solar panels, UGLY?? take that back!! :(
Funny, the guy asks a question in Italian, the other replies in French.
It will take time when this new type comes to Pakistan
well how many watts does it produce, thumbs down
luckeychuckey70 as it says in the video, it's about 15% more efficient than older technology panels. Actual wattage would vary depending on the size of the panel and since the video wasn't about a specific panel/size, they can't tell you the wattage.
Atheist Avenger , so true. They are not specific on the efficiency. Also electricity from solar is not "difficult to store". Just another marketing advertisement.
Atheist Avenger , that's not called "difficult to store". That's called "not having the proper resources to store". Besides there are several ways to store electric potential, some more efficient than others. Besides, there is really nothing difficult in this world. What most folks believe to be "difficult" is because they don't have the knowledge and experience to mitigate the challenge.
Sir please develop solar panels India India always loves France
With Avasva plans doing something like that was easy.
speaking french in switzerland ?!
I think you need to take some time and go to inplix website to learn how to make it.
What's with the infantile music? Is this for kids?
+The Ball Solar is magic!
+The Ball you don't l;ike chimes go sticyourheadinaabigbell.
+The Ball This kit suggests one of those popular alternative energy devices that prove to drop home energy costs by 50-80%*.
See this ==> www.solarenergy.ml
did the "infantile" music bother you?
But NO ONE tell WHAT about wastes from Solar Power and panels utilisations !
less precious metals = less quality...period !

interviews it will help you a lot in sharing same knowledge
For fuck sake use subtitles, don't dub voices.
You must be from the UK. I don't think that Americans or Canadians complain that much for every little things
you know this is from low budget TV show right ?
Copy of Day4 Solar panels (Canadian Design) from 6 years ago. Not impressed. Hail Impact is a Standard IEC test. And the loading test was done incorrectly (with bricks... REALY!). From someone who was on the leading edge of this testing, I'm not impressed with this video. Sorry!
IF you want to make it by yourself just go to InpliX page.
I did something similar with Avasva solutions.
