Recent developments in solar cell and photovoltaic module technologies have made solar power a choice for worthwhile aerospace fuel.
FREMONT, CA: The expense of solar technology has decreased, opening up opportunities to develop the next generation of cells to encourage the use and efficiency of solar energy. Many organizations and businesses are working to promote solar technology with small silicon-based solar cells that can be related to various shapes.
They are lightweight, flexible, resilient, and highly reliable, conquering today's rigid solar cells' low-voltage limitations. DragonSCALEs, done by mPower, is one such innovative solar cell. DragonSCALEs are made of greatly efficient silicon cells individually interconnected and meshed into any shape or form.
DragonSCALEs conquer today's rigid solar cells' low-voltage limitations. DragonSCALE's advantages allow a wide range of possibilities for solar power development for multiple markets.
For example, DragonSCALEs is an ideal solution for the aerospace industry, offering mitigated weight and volume of storage, improved radiation recovery, and lower costs compared to existing solutions based on Gallium Arsenide (III-V).
The funding obtained by mPower is a direct reflection of this technology's promise, where investors will have the capacity to implement the business plan of the company in the future.
The technology of mPower is well-placed as the solar solution of choice for aerospace applications, particularly in the large emerging satellite constellation market. The company's technology leverages affordable materials, processes, and equipment from silicon PV and microelectronics.
It provides new design options for solar energy, eliminating existing solar solutions' limitations and allowing for highly flexible, durable, lightweight models that can be rapidly implemented at a low cost. DragonSCALEs is on its way to turning the leading technology for solar power in the aerospace industry.
