Research progress in the application of solar cells on ships
Green energy is the guarantee of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goal.The carbon emissions of water transport are second only to road transport in the field of transportation.Therefore,its energy conservation and emission reduction are crucial to promote the development of green shipping.Developing clean energy ships is the main way to reduce emissions.The solar energy,as a clean and pollution-free energy source,has a huge potential in the new energy ships.The solar cell is the key component in solar ships.So the rapid development of solar cell is helpful to drive promotion the application of solar ships.This paper describes the research progress of solar cells and the development of solar ships.By comparing several solar cells and summarizing the application of solar ships,it highlights key issues such as the improvement of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells especially under low light conditions,and reducing the laying area and weight of solar panels.In addition,improving energy storage technology is another key to the development of future solar ships.
