Israel Pulls Ahead in Solar Race
Solar energy companies have been locked for decades in a race to develop double-sided solar panels that can absorb both direct and reflected sunlight. The finish line is near, and Israel has pulled into the lead!
bSolar, an Israel-based startup, believes it has developed the first affordable double sided solar panel. The technology they use is called Photovoltaic (PV) cells, which were first used in Soviet satellites and utilize boron instead of aluminum in the wafers that allow it to absorb energy from light.
The bSolar PV cells can increase the amount of energy harnessed from the sun by up to 50 percent, making them not only a high-class product but also a competitor with the leading high-efficiency single-sided solar panels of other companies.
For decades, the double-sided solar technology was unachievable. Now, it’s not only possible, but it’s made by Israel.
