Flexible solar cells that do not contain scarce and expensive elements pave the way for the development of inexpensive and efficient solar energy. This was stated by scientists from the University of Sheffield in their new study.It is noted that researchers have developed a new type of solar cell using a perovskite semiconductor. Unlike traditional solar cells, these elements are made by stamping tiny grooves in a plastic film and then filling them with perovskite material.According to scientists, this approach represents a new way to produce lightweight and flexible solar films that can be used on surfaces such as roofs of houses and other objects that usually cannot withstand the weight of solar panels. Combined with the expected low cost, this could significantly expand the spread of solar energy, especially in developing countries.
