Elon Musk Just LAUNCHED A New Solar Panel That Will Blow Your Mind!
The solar sector is in a competitive battle to expand quickly. Elon Musk recently unveiled an amazing power cell that has never been seen before. This ground-breaking technology has lower costs and offers an infinite supply of energy. As you may already be aware, the black and copper solar panel that can be found on residential rooftops and solar farms that were created and produced in America in 1950 is the conventional silicon photovoltaic solar cell. But, Tesla just launched a new solar power cell that will blow your mind. What exactly is it made of? Let’s find out!

Today, crystalline silicon makes about 90% of all solar panels produced worldwide, and the market is expanding at a rate of roughly 30% annually. As mentioned Tesla made a ground-breaking discovery about a material that is less expensive, lighter, and easier to manufacture? It’s a cheap solution that produces powerful cells. Ferroelectric crystals are solar cells that are so thin that they may power an entire house. The cost of crucial components, primarily polysilicon for solar panels, has reached an all-time high due to excessive demand and manufacturing delays. The most costly grade of polysilicon now costs 40.62 cents per kilogram, which is higher than the previous high of 40.34 cents from the previous year.
The silicon metal is purified to 99.999 percent purity before being used to manufacture polysilicon. To keep the silicon from crystallizing where the silicon rods are developing at the center of the reactor, the reactor walls must be kept cold. Tesla had to look for a silicon substitute since maintaining that temperature differential required a lot of energy. Due to a novel invention involving the arrangement of thin layers of the materials, the energy output of ferroelectric crystals in solar cells can be enhanced by a factor of 1,000.
Ferroelectric crystals are distinct from traditional silicon cells in that the PV effect can be produced without a PN Junction. In a nutshell, there is no need to add layers of cells that are positively and negatively doped. The alteration, according to the researchers, might make it simpler to construct solar panels. This revolutionary cell can be made without the need to mine the Earth for raw materials. Researchers employ ferroelectrics like barium titanate, a mixed oxide consisting of barium and titanium, since it is any material with a crystalline structure. Costs are greatly decreased as a result.
Tesla does not need to spend a lot of money on highly skilled labour or sophisticated equipment to support production.
As a result, it’s projected that these panels could cost up to 10 times less per watt than contemporary commercial silicon solar panels. Before the federal solar tax credit, you may anticipate Tesla solar panels to cost roughly 2.21 cents per Watt. However, the price per watt of this ferroelectric panel is merely 22 cents.
Up until recently, silicon solar panel costs were a constant concern. Although this new Tesla invention is an excellent option for individuals who cannot afford to buy them, one has to wonder how much energy it can genuinely produce given the low price.
