7 coolest uses of photovoltaic panels

The solar voltaic cells are one of the widely used source to produce energy. The energy produced using these photovoltaic cells is completely an eco-friendly energy and has become so popular that every people wants to try their hands on it. This way of producing energy is one of the simplest and easiest ways as you just need a few array of cells to start producing energy. These solar panels are widely used these days to produce energy in some or other way. Here is a list of seven coolest uses of photovoltaic panels that are being used by people across the globe.

Next-gen Photovoltaics Project at Harvard University

Usually when the word distribute and it’s derivatives are used in relation to solar, it’s in terms of distributed generation. But the Clean Energy Project led by a team of researchers at Harvard University, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico and Haverford College are using distributed computing to identify the most likely molecules to foment the next generation of organic photovoltaics, and fuel cells and they need your—well your computer’s—help!

The distributed computing model has been used to search the stars for aliens, to research new drugs for cancer and Parkinson’s and other uses. Now it’s being put to use to help develop organic photovoltaic molecules to produce alternatives to photovoltaics that use inorganic compounds or hazardous materials.
