Can anyone recommend solar cells and solar panels for a physics experiment?

Posted in Green Q&A | 1 comment

I am doing a physics experiment where I need to compare the efficiency of the two. Solar panel for radiation>heat water and solar cells for radiation>electrical energy.

Can anyone recommend me some cells and panels which have lots of information about their performance, efficiency etc?

Many thanks!

Is there a way to make car paint that collects solar and wind energy to power an electric car?

Posted in Green Q&A | 6 comments

If the paint could collect solar energy to charge a battery, and then once the car starts moving, other fibers in the paint could convert the wind passing over the car to electrical energy, wouldn’t this be a way to decrease our dependency on fossil fuels. Is there any technology out there that can do such a thing?
