Spherical Solar Cell Production Breakthrough :: Oblate Spheroid

The reason why a room does not become dark even if
it does not receive direct sunlight is a variety of reflected and diffused
light. However, conventional flat solar cells were unable to effectively harness
this indirect light. In addition, the sun takes on a many different positions
according to the season and time of day, so in order to obtain a stable supply
of power, there was a need to change the orientation of the solar cell by
constantly following the sun. Sphelar® captures light from all directions, which
means it can catch reflected light and diffused light. In addition, there is no
need for the superfluous operation of tracking the sun. The spherical
light-receiving surfaces achieve unprecedented high generation efficiency.
