To put it bluntly, this condensing array method uses a large convex lens to concentrate the light, then coats the solar cell lens with an alloy film, and then places the solar cell panel at the focal length of the lens.
In this way, sunlight can be refracted by the lens to form a concentrated light to the maximum extent and shine on the solar panel. The energy of such concentrated light is generally very high, which is very conducive to improving the efficiency of the solar panel. Conversion efficiency.
In his last life, Jin Xiaoqiang remembered that he had seen an introduction to such a solar power plant when he was bored watching TV at home, and the country specifically introduced was Spain.
Although Spain is a less developed country in Europe, it is one of the top countries in the world when it comes to the use of clean energy.
One-third of our country¡¯s electricity is generated by clean energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy, or even tidal energy.
So their solar energy usage technology is very mature. When he saw this way of using solar energy on TV, Jin Xiaoqiang once lamented how awesome this technology was.
Unexpectedly, Matt and Edwards want to use this trick here. However, this can indeed be very effective in improving the utilization rate of solar energy, but it also has a very big problem. . .
¡°This is the concentrating solar cell we have developed so far.¡±
Matt said, pointing to a battery on the screen and said to Jin Xiaoqiang. Jin Xiaoqiang also looked at the battery carefully. It was a drawing made by a computer.
A square battery panel is connected to an integral condenser lens. The diameter of each lens is about forty centimeters. The battery under the lens is coated with a metal film, and many digital modules are embedded at the focal length of the lens. The millimeter-sized single crystal silicon wafer also has a large heat dissipation device under the alloy film. The whole battery looks very technological.
The appearance is quite good. You must know that this is the era of eyeball economy. If you want to promote a high-tech product of yours, even if the product is high-tech, you must work hard on the presentation and make your product look very professional. Very high-tech.
If it looks rustic, people will not pay for your product.
It¡¯s not like we haven¡¯t developed any high-tech products in China over the years, but we really don¡¯t pay enough attention to the beautiful appearance of the products. Obviously a thing that looks very advanced turns out to be slovenly and looks bad. , it was not just once or twice that I was rejected by other buyers.
So this shape of packaging is very suitable for a high-tech product. But it is very important that it is easy to use and looks good. This is the key to attracting consumers.
"The lenses we currently use on this kind of solar cell are one hundred times and five hundred times. This is already our limit. If you want to use a thousand times or higher lens, the boss , you also know that such a lens is very difficult to get in China."
Matt didn¡¯t say the words, but when he said it, it was actually very clear. In fact, this was still to blame for the damn Batumi Agreement. On the other hand, it is indeed because our domestic scientific research institutions and manufacturers are not living up to expectations.
You must know that our country currently lags behind foreigners not only in the field of mechanical manufacturing and electronic control, but also in optics, especially in the field of high-end optical research.
Otherwise, when Jin Xiaoqiang configured a microscope for his biological laboratory at that time, he would not buy Japan or Germany and American goods.
Our domestic optical research is really far behind compared with others.
As we all know, in the field of optics in the current world, the Germans and Japanese have been leading the way, but in fact, Americans are not lagging behind in this industry.
??This solar matrix battery has actually been available in the United States for a long time. It has even been used for several generations. Many of the satellites and space stations sent by Americans to outer space use this kind of matrix solar cells.
As early as ten years ago, Americans had begun to use 1,600-fold lenses as light-concentrating tools in their matrix solar cells.
It is a pity that the research and development of the highest-level condenser lenses in our country so far is less than a thousand times. Even some high-end ones are obtained through some unknown channels, and they are only supplied to the domestic military industry. , for the civil industry. Or self-produced, this is simply a blank.
Matt and Edwards were able to get a 500x lens in China,The reality is pretty good, but you should know that lenses like this have actually been eliminated for many years in high-precision fields abroad.
"I wonder, boss, if you can get a thousand-fold or higher lens. You must know that this thousand-fold lens has extremely outstanding performance in terms of clarity and high focusing performance, and is comparable to a five-hundred-fold lens. , that is simply different. If you, boss, can get a thousand times or higher magnification lens, then we may be able to achieve greater breakthroughs in this solar cell. After all, now it is With a 500-fold lens, we can already achieve the current photoelectric conversion efficiency value."
After Matt finished speaking, he looked at Jin Xiaoqiang longingly. In the eyes of him and Edwards, his boss was a man with great hands and eyes, and he was always the most willing to spend money on scientific research projects. Now let him help with some With a high-power lens, he will definitely help.
Jin Xiaoqiang could only nod his head upon hearing this, but he turned around and said to Matt and Edwards.
"Matt, can't you buy this thousand-magnification lens or a higher-magnification lens in Australia? You know, the United States, Japan, and Germany don't have many restrictions on exports to Australia?"
Jin Xiaoqiang asked, wasn¡¯t it actually because of this aspect that he funded their laboratory that he allowed them to continue doing research in Australia?
"Well with such a boss, such a high-power lens, the countries with advanced optical technology in the world do not have restrictions on Australia. But the problem is that such a lens, even if we import it from Australia, the price It is also not cheap, and labor in Australia is very expensive. We have calculated that if we use a thousand times lens for experiments, then our test costs in Australia will be much more expensive than the current test costs in China. It¡¯s more than ten times, and with this ten times the funds, we can do many different types of experiments in China.¡±
He is indeed an honest scientist. Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he thinks about himself, these two guys can win the Lei Feng Award.
But how did he know that these two guys were actually thinking about themselves?
Because according to their design, if such an experiment is conducted, such a solar cell must be manufactured to cover an area of ??one square kilometer.
" If such a battery were manufactured in China and rented land for testing, it would probably cost only a few million to complete. Of course, this is without counting the price of the lenses.
But if you want to complete such an experiment in Australia, you can¡¯t even dream without hundreds of millions of Australian dollars.
Just setting up a production line specifically to provide products for experiments is extremely expensive, not to mention the terrifyingly high labor costs in Australia, and those lenses with thousands of times. Even if their troops are prohibited from exporting to Australia, if they want to buy them, Including various tariffs, the total cost may be tens of millions of Australian dollars.
They also have shares in this solar energy project, so of course it is best for them to spend the least money and accomplish the biggest things.
"Well, okay, I'll think of a solution for these high-height lenses."
Looking at the expectant looks in their eyes, Jin Xiaoqiang could only bite the bullet and agree first. If it didn't work, he would have to ask his American friends to help find a way.
Such a lens is really difficult to make. The ability of a lens to achieve such a magnification is not only a matter of processing technology. The ingredients used in the glass lens and the manufacturing methods are also very important.
"According to China's current technology, it is almost wishful thinking to produce such high-end lenses, and the only way left is to smuggle them from abroad.
It seems that it¡¯s time to tell Naruto Shinyuki to go around Japan. During this period, this guy is domineering over Suzuki and his life is very uncomfortable. Don¡¯t forget what you told him about. Empty.
"Actually, Mr. Jin, we have another idea that we want to try"
When Matt saw Jin Xiaoqiang's thoughtful look, he started to speak hesitantly again.
When Jin Xiaoqiang saw the way he and Edwards kept exchanging glances, he knew that these two guys must be asking for some experimental fees again.
"Okay, tell me your ideas and concepts. If I think it's suitable, then I will invest. But I want to emphasize that if I continue to make the best investment, then when I apply for a patent in the future, I will Take a larger stake in the new company.¡±
¡°I have spent more than a billion dollars on this solar energy project one after another. Just inTwo to three billion dollars have been spent on the laboratory and experimental parts within the project. When I was in Australia in the early days, I invested even more, spending no less than three hundred million dollars.
Therefore, it is understandable to ask for a higher share ratio, and obviously Matt and Edwards have been prepared for this. They agreed immediately, because indeed Jin Xiaoqiang's request is not excessive, and others are The big financier of this project. . . (To be continued)
