Skyshades UK, ltd is making a big splash around the poolsides of the best resorts of the world. Their newest solar product is organic photovoltaic power plastic inserted in transparent sleeves on the top of poolside type umbrellas.
Skyshades has teamed up with Konarka to market their newest break through for light conversion into electricity.
The OPV cells which Konarka produces are lightweight, flexible and highly versatile and can now be manufactured inexpensively at high speed using coating and printing technologies.
Konarka’s Power Plastic® collects energy at up to 70° off-axis from nearly sunrise to sunset from any light, not just solar, unlike conventional solar panels which are most effective between 10am and 3pm assuming there is no cloud cover.
Konarka’s Power Plastic® takes light in and delivers power out. This technological breakthrough has coincided with a much improved production process which allows Konarka’s photo-reactive materials to be printed or coated inexpensively onto flexible substrates using roll-to-roll manufacturing.
Through a partnering with Tensile Structures International they can now put transparent sleeves on their awning like structures to turn them into electrifying energy devices.
