|
Researchers at Sol Chip are working on an ambitious project to create the world’s first everlasting solar battery.
|
It is hoped that the battery will be able to recharge even in low-light environments to power just about any mobile electronic device. Sol Chip’s current prototype of the technology combines photovoltaics with microchip technology. So far the battery has been limited to an output of 8.4 volts of power, which is enough to power a limited array of outdoor devices. A new solar battery able to recharge itself even in low light could be the next step in the creation of the world’s first everlasting solar battery.
The prototype, created by researchers from Sol Chip, was developed by combining solar and microchip technology. The current version is able to output 8.4 volts of power, and company is developing ways to adapt the design to power devices used in agriculture, security and weather testing, with the first target being the milking industry.
Sol Chip claims to be the first company to combine solar cells with microchips, and is currently look for funding to conduct additional testing. |
