A new product that relies on solar cells to charge electrical appliances without the need for batteries

ArabiaWeather.com - Khitam Amer - Researchers have recently developed a product that relies on solar energy to generate energy instead of using batteries or the like to charge or recharge some electrical appliances.

The product, which is being developed by 3G Solar Photovoltaics, is an advanced form of dye solar cell technology (with photosensitive dyes) that uses photovoltaic cells printed on glass, with the aim of providing the energy needed to operate the electrical devices that we use in our daily lives.

It is known that solar energy needs sunlight to produce electricity, but on the other hand, these dye solar cells are so sensitive that they can generate energy from indirect light inside buildings, and therefore they do not need direct sunlight.

According to the company (3G Solar), it is currently creating a device that is connected or installed in new wireless electronics without the need to change the battery or recharge it.

Dye solar cells are also known as "Gratzl" cells, in reference to the professor who discovered them about 20 years ago, Michael Gratzel, who found that sunlight stimulates the dye to release an electronic charge without the need for expensive semiconductors, which is the same method plants use in the process of photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy.
