This panel is based on a technology developed in Canada by NRC. See 2011.0004 (From Acquisitions Worksheet, see Ref. 1)

Fonction

To produce electricity from solar energy. A panel of this size could be used to power a laptop computer, or similar device (See Ref. 1 & Ref. 2)

Technique

The organic based, photovoltaic cells are developed at the NRC in cooperation with university and industry partners. The cells are shipped to Konarka and are printed at Konarka’s facilities in the U.S. Konarka Technologies was founded in 2001 by a team of scientists at UMass Lowell, led by the late Dr. Sukant Tripathy, an internationally known materials scientist and professor at UMASS Lowell, Dr. Alan Heeger, a 2000 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and Howard Berke, Konarka’s Executive Chairman. Dr. Tripathy’s team at UMASS Lowell initially developed advanced photovoltaic technology for soldiers under the coordination and support of the U.S. Army's Natick, Massachusetts Laboratory. The team discovered a way to process photovoltaic materials at relatively low temperatures. This discovery enabled - for the first time - the use of low-cost polymers as the top and bottom surfaces of the photovoltaic cell. It also enabled the photovoltaic cells to be manufactured at high speed using coating and printing technologies. The name of the company is based on the Konarka Temple in Orissa, India. Built in the 13th century, it displays a chariot of the sun with seven horses, one for each day of the week, and twelve pairs of wheels, one for each month. It is considered an engineering wonder and one of the finest monuments of religious architecture in the world. The Konarka Temple is dedicated to the Hindu sun god Surya. Konarka’s mission is to harness the sun god’s promise and empower people throughout the world - including the millions of Indian poor who still lack even the most basic household electric devices.
