Effective Solar Power in the UK?

Solar power has been around for many years, and has been effective to some degree. However, in the UK's somewhat unpredictable and not the warmest climate, it has been rather less effective than in hotter countires. Why is this?

Traditioanl Silicon solar panels rely mainly on direct sunlight to generate electricity. Thus on a cloudy day, or if the sun is not directly fcing them, they become somewhat in-efficient. As well as this many early solar power panels were huge, bulky products, that could be considered not aesthetically pleasing.

There have been some great developments with Silicon based solar panels, in the thin film that is produced. However, Organic Photovoltaics, a Carbon based solar panel is set to revolutionise the solar power industry. How?

OPV is carbon based and as it doesn't use harmful chemicals it is able to be mass produced easily. As well as this it is extremely thin and flexible, this means it has a huge range of applications. Possibly the most important point when speaking about OPV is that it relies on daylight rather than direct sunlight to generate electricity. Thus even on a cloudy day it will generate significant energy!

This exciting product is being utilised in the Power2Outside brand and is available through SKYShades UK Ltd.
