South Africa Need To Vigorously Develop Solar Energy, Ease The Power Crisis

Professor at the University of South Africa, recently said that the country should be shifted to ease the country's solar power crisis.

The University of Johannesburg, said that solar energy technology development to become South Africa could become an economic solution to the power crisis in the way.

The new ultra-thin film materials used in the manufacture of solar panels can save more costs. The University believes that the new thin film PV material change to solar power will be completely changed way.

Previous silicon solar panels activities as PV materials, but the cost of imports expensive as the obstacles to the success of the law. The university said the new material (CIGS) that copper - indium - Gallium - even selenium can significantly reduce costs. From CIGS panels composed of very thin, flexible, and easy to bend, can replace old vitreous. And its efficiency is very high, supply stability, and can be used for family, it can be used in the wind farm.
