Thermoplastic honeycomb, lightweight solar modules
EconCore and ThermHex are providing a first look at new product variations, including high-performance thermoplastic cores and solar panels with a honeycomb structure.
To satisfy these demands, honeycomb-structured PV modules with incorporated mechanical metamaterials are proposed, to overcome the aforementioned problems associated with the limited mechanical properties of PVs, and to advance the development of 3D PV modules with enhanced energy yield.
The Al honeycomb core has good thermal conductivity (3.9 W/m°C), chip price, and availability on the market for the lightweight PV module. The PV module incorporated a p-type c-Si solar cell, and a shingled-type array structure was applied to maximize the solar-to-power conversion within a limited area [15, 16].
The PV module design we propose in this study is a honeycomb sandwich structure that can be directly applied to the building facade. It can be used like solar blocks or tile rather than the existing curtain wall method. Moreover, these applications have a limited installation area for PV modules.
The PV module incorporated a p-type c-Si solar cell, and a shingled-type array structure was applied to maximize the solar-to-power conversion within a limited area [15, 16]. Generally, a lightweight PV module with a honeycomb sandwich structure is suitable for applications such as buildings, architectural structures, and vehicles.
