Goodbye to solar panels: Japan finally creates solar cells that don’t need to be flat to work – A Milestone tried since 1883


=======///======/_/============/_/=======///===
For more than a century, solar panels have always been flat; however, Japan has achieved the impossible yet again. Kyosemi’s Sphelar® reaches a milestone by asking the question of why solar panels have to be flat and then proving that solar panels do not have to be flat. Although the early days of photovoltaics from the 1880s prescribed solar panels that needed to be designed based on the materials sourced for the panels, Japan is opting to be guided by the direction of the sun.



The knowledge that sunlight comes from everywhere
When lab tests were conducted, it was found that sunlight comes from all directions and strikes from almost everywhere. This is when Mr. Nakata realized that a solar panel of a spherical shape could harness the sun’s energy better than a flat panel.

In Japan, research was deemed so important that JAMIC (Japan Microgravity Center) was formed, where a former mine shaft had been converted into a research site with a 710-meter tunnel holding a drop facility for microgravity experiments.
