Sharp is set to introduce five innovative transparent solar module models on July 31, 2013. This follows the launch of its first transparent solar cell module, the "NA-B095AA," in September 2012. These new products aim to expand the integration of solar technology into everyday architectural elements, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The transparent solar cell modules are created by etching fine trenches into thin-film silicon solar cells. While the grooved areas do not generate electricity, the overall efficiency is still optimized to allow for power generation alongside natural lighting. The design goal is to place these modules in areas typically occupied by glass, such as balcony railings, windows, curtain walls, and eaves, without compromising visibility or structural integrity.
Among the five new products, the NA-B07A and NA-B07B are smaller than the original NA-B095AA, making them ideal for open-ended balcony railings that prioritize ventilation. These models also offer improved anti-static performance—about 1.9 times better than the NA-B095AA—making them suitable for high-rise buildings. They feature an opening ratio of 10% and 20%, allowing for flexibility in installation and design.
Additionally, the NA-B11A and NA-B11B are specifically designed to accommodate a 1200mm column spacing commonly used in Japanese construction. Their width of 1150mm takes into account wiring and window frame connections between multiple modules, making them well-suited for curtain walls and skylights in ceilings.
Of the five models, the NA-B07A and NA-B11A focus on maximizing power generation with a 10% opening ratio, while the other three prioritize light transmission with a 20% opening ratio. This allows customers to choose based on their specific needs and installation locations.
This latest development showcases Sharp's commitment to integrating renewable energy solutions seamlessly into modern architecture, making solar power more versatile and visually appealing. (Reporter: Yutaro Kojima)
