Many car companies have tried to use solar energy to charge cars, but because of the body area, the charging efficiency of solar charging panels has never been able to meet the needs of vehicles. Some scientists have opened their minds to develop and use foldable printed solar panels, and even let Tesla drive 15,000 kilometers.
Recently, it was reported that scientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia are testing a printed solar panel,And plans to start it in September this year to power Tesla cars, completing a journey of 15,100 kilometers.
For the “Charge Around Australia Project”, team members powered Tesla’s electric vehicles with 18 printed plastic solar panels, each 18 meters long.
When Tesla cars need to be recharged, they are rolled out next to the car and charged using solar energy, and the team plans to visit about 70 schools during the 84-day journey.
The printed solar panel is a very lightweight laminated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic,Manufacturing costs are less than $10 per square meter.
The panels were printed on a commercial printer originally used to print wine labels. This solar panel is only one-tenth of a millimeter thick and can generate electricity in astigmatic and dim light conditions.
According to Paul Dastoor, the inventor of printed solar panels,The team at Newcastle University wanted to test not only the durability of the panels, but their potential performance in other areas of application.
He said using solar panels to power cars would make Australians think more about electric vehicles and help ease their “range anxiety”.
The question is, do you think they can succeed?
