Revolutionary’ portable solar panels being developed

Portable solar panels, which could be used on-the-go to charge devices, are being developed by university researchers.

At the National Thin-Film Cluster Facility (NTCF) for Advanced Functional Materials in Oxford, scientists are creating ultra-thin solar panels from perovskites.

According to researchers, perovskite solar panels are cheaper and more effective than those made purely from silicon and can be produced at a smaller size.

Prof Henry Snaith, from the University of Oxford’s physics department, said the new technology will “basically mean you’re going to be able to generate power in more places”.
