Micro Photovoltaic Modules for Micro Systems
Amorphous silicon based solar modules are very attractive for the powering of various microsystems for both indoor and outdoor applications. This technology offers a lot of flexibility in terms of module design, output voltage, shape, size, choice of substrates and offers also the possibility to embed sensors such as photodiodes. This paper focuses on the development of micro-solar modules with...
متن کاملPhotovoltaic Recycling Planning: Macro and Micro Perspectives
The usage of valuable resources and the generation of emissions during the life cycle of photovoltaic (PV) technologies dictate our proactive planning for a sound PV recycling infrastructure to ensure its sustainability. Some global PV manufacturers have begun recycling PV wastes generated from the PV manufacturing processes and the Endof-Life (EoL) PV modules. Therefore, it is vital to develop...
متن کاملDeep proton writing: a rapid prototyping polymer micro-fabrication tool for micro-optical modules
One of the important challenges to deploying the emerging breed of nanotechnology components is interfacing them with the external world, preferably accomplished with low-cost micro-optical devices. In our labs at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), we are therefore focusing on the continuous development of a rapid prototyping technology for the fabrication of microoptical modules. In this te...
متن کاملMicro-photovoltaic cells designed for magnetotaxis-based controlled bacterial microrobots
A new architecture allowing an increase of the photocurrent of a photovoltaic cell fabricated with a CMOS 0.18μm process is described. This cell has been designed specifically to power the onboard electronics of a 400μm × 600μm untethered microrobot propelled by magnetotactic bacteria (MTB). Four cascaded cells of an area of 200μm × 200μm each, provide a short circuit current of 70μA and an ope...
متن کاملCorrelation of micro and nano-scale defects with WVTR for aluminium oxide barrier coatings for flexible photovoltaic modules
This paper seeks to establish a correlation between surface topographical defects and Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR) measured under laboratory conditions for aluminium-oxide (Al2O3) barrier film employed in flexible photovoltaic (PV) modules. Defects in the barrier layers of PV modules causing high WVTR are not well characterised and understood. A WVTR of ~10 g/m/day is sufficient for th...
