[Energy Focus] New Solar Applications (1)

In order to express new energy applications, Xiao Bian opened the “Energy Focus” section to collect timely information on new energy applications. What new energy application was collected in this issue? Yes, it is "solar energy". Many people are not unfamiliar with "solar energy". Recently, it has been excavated with some new applications. Please follow Xiaobian to see it!

Solar aircraft

Recently, the Swiss explorer André Borschberg completed a 72-hour simulated solar-powered pilot flight at the Airport in Dibendorf, Switzerland on the morning of the 24th.

There are 12,000 pairs of solar panels on the "Solar Drive" wing. When flying during the day, excess solar power can be stored in high performance batteries for night flight use. With a wingspan of 63.4 meters, it is equivalent to the Airbus 340 and weighs only 1,600 kilograms, which is equivalent to an ordinary car. The aircraft is made of ultra-light carbon fiber materials. To reduce the weight of the aircraft, driving is basically a mechanical manipulation. It does not use a lot of electronic equipment. Even the fuselage is made of thin film and is not painted.

This simulation flight has a positive significance for the future preparations and will bring us closer to the 'solar-powered' global flight. At present, the second "Solar Drive" is under construction.

Solar waiting room

According to the "Life News", this year, Harbin City is expected to build a "solar" waiting room on the Tongjiang Street bus station in Daoli District, which will integrate bus transportation and river cruises.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Harbin Municipal Transportation Bureau, the relevant department of Harbin City initially envisaged establishing a waiting room for a solar roof at the bus stop on Tongjiang Street in Daoli District, providing a warm and comfortable waiting environment for the public in winter. After the waiting room is completed, it will also become the ticket office for river cruises in the summer.

As a result, everyone will surely enjoy the waiting process.

Water solar panels

Recently, a company in Italy developed a water solar panel. Compared with traditional solar technology, this solar panel floating on the water not only does not need to occupy a large area of ​​land, but also can automatically rotate with the movement of the sun.

The biggest advantage of a water solar panel is that it does not require large areas of land and the installation cost is relatively low, so the cost is lower than that of ordinary solar panels. At the same time, it can also freely rotate with the movement of the sun, so that it can receive the sunlight most efficiently. In addition, due to the solar panels floating on the water, the use of water-cooled systems, the circuit's heat dissipation problems can also be solved. Can kill two birds with one stone.
