Comparing Solar Cell & VOOU Module
The development of a revolutionary
solar/battery panel – the VOOU Module
Current Solar Cell Modules
- Suitable only outdoors under direct light exposure
- Electricity generation about 20Watt/square foot
- Purchase Price: $0.24/watt = $82.8 for 345W panel (@ low profit margin)
- Average weight: 2-4lbs/ft2 (10-20kg per m2)
- Panels heat up resulting in a significant efficiency drop
- Cells contain toxic materials like lead and cadmium
- Design cannot be printed
Printed VOOU Modules
- Suitable out- & indoors under diffuse subdued light
- Electricity generation above 20Watt/square foot
- Purchase Price: $0.20/watt = $80.0 for 400W panel (@>50% Profit Margin)
- Lightweight and thin construction: 0.2-0.4Lbs/ft2
- No heating up resulting in efficiency loss
- Eco friendly ink and materials
- Can be printed with a design
Current Solar Cell Modules
- Current solar systems require a battery bank with charge controller
- Batteries contain heavy metals and toxic chemicals
- Charging cycles: 400 ~ 2.000
- Risk of explosion, fire or chemical leakages
- Housing required
- Heavy and static
- Cost intensive and complicated production
Printed VOOU Modules
- The printed VOOU Modules include the controller and battery thus saving that cost!
- Energy storage without chemical transformation
- Charging cycles: > 500.000
- No risk of explosion, fire or chemical leakages
- No Housing required
- Lightweight and flexible
- Cost efficient, fast and easy mass production
