USF Poly Solar Panel Design Gets New Progress

Recently, the University of South Florida Institute of Technology (USFPoly) has made new progress in solar panel technology.

After nearly a year of work, the design team completed the new design of the roof solar panels, and once again improved the efficiency of solar energy collection.

The surface of the newly designed solar panel adopts a series of V-shapes, enabling solar cells to collect sunlight throughout the day. The panel is made of a confidential material that can be incorporated into wall panels or roofing materials to increase the area that absorbs solar energy. Its solar energy utilization is 2% higher than other solar panels. The USF group has applied for this design patent.

Solar panels are usually made of crystalline silicon cells, but the materials used by USFPoly have better optical and physical properties than glass, which can increase the efficiency of energy absorption.

If the design can apply for a patent, the research team will have some patent rights. Brame, assistant professor and director of technology education at USFPoly, said that the prototype testability design is expected to be released by the end of January.

He acknowledged that there are many obstacles to the development of the design from a concept to a saleable product, that is, the erratic price of solar technology.

Brame said that establishing a prototype is very expensive, and his team is likely to complete the prototype through a partner or government grant. "If USFPoly is patentable, other companies and entities will be able to find ways to optimize the solution and put the panel into production at the appropriate cost." (Translation: Erin)

Anti-corrosion tape

The petrolatum anti-corrosion tape is made of plastic petrolatum ester, filler, paraffin oil, special preservatives, fillers, synthetic fibers and other raw materials. Gapless flexible ribbon roll. The petrolatum anti-corrosion tape can be used together with the petrolatum topcoat, the petrolatum cement and the polymer adhesive tape to form a complete anti-corrosion maintenance system.
The mineral ester anti-corrosion tape has stable properties, no curing, no hardening, no cracking, adapts to thermal expansion and contraction of workpieces with large temperature changes, has excellent plasticity and flexibility, contains volatiles within a safe range, and is harmful to the human body and the environment. No poison. It is suitable for anti-corrosion work of metal pipes and fittings, Flanges and Valves of any regular and irregular shape. It is widely used in gas, oil, water, petrochemical plants, urban construction, ships and other fields. It is also the first choice for anti-corrosion materials for steel pipelines, cast iron pipelines, joints, tees, elbows, refueling and refueling storage tanks, special-shaped prefabricated components (such as flanges, gate valves, tees, etc.), and edge plates of storage tank bases.
Scope of application
1. Pipeline anti-corrosion
From the pipelines inside and outside the factories of large-scale chemical companies, iron and steel companies, and electric power companies, to equipment pipelines in high-rise buildings, and residential pipelines, whether it is overhead, ground, underground pipe gallery, buried or not in water, all pipelines can be used. Because it does not deteriorate even at the lowest temperature, it is suitable for corrosion protection of low temperature piping such as liquefied gas, and corrosion protection of cooling water and cold air piping.
2. Anti-corrosion of flanges, pipe fittings and welds
The petrolatum anti-corrosion system is a suitable anti-corrosion material for piping connections, valves, flanges, bolts, etc. Pipes pre-coated with plastic and bitumen, etc., can also be used for welds connected in the field.
Specifications of petrolatum anti-corrosion belt:
50mm x 10M, 75mm x 10M 100mm x 10M 150mm x 10M 200mm x 10M 300mm x 10M
The thickness and width of the tape can also be customized according to the user's specific design or construction requirements.
Features of petrolatum anti-corrosion tape:
1. The thickness is uniform, soft and easy to shape
2. Low surface stress, compatible with various surfaces
3. Long-term non-drying, non-cracking,
4. Resistant to acid, alkali and salt
5, heat resistance, anti-aging, anti-organic chemical corrosion
6. Heat resistance, severe cold, easy to apply at ultra-low temperature
