Additive manufacturing solar panels.
We know solar panels as the futuristic looking black or blue rectangles that soak up sunlight and bring down our energy bills.
It offers capability in manufacturing complex 3d structures with.
It uses an integrated energy system that shares energy between a building and a vehicle.
Traditional solar cells start as polysilicon which is melted and infused with boron to create a semiconductor.
3d printing has the potential to solve this by replacing a multi step production process for solar panels with quicker layer by layer manufacturing.
Reducing the costs involved in generating solar energy and making it more accessible remains a challenge in the renewable energy industry.
Utilizing advanced manufacturing and rapid innovation it only took just one year to go from concept to launch.
As a whole the solar industry from manufacturing all the way through sales and installation employed more than 250 271 americans in 2017.
We might even get the technology behind how they work.
Additive manufacturing has shown its promise to change the way how future energy system can be designed and delivered.
Besides 3d printed solar.
