Strips of colourful photovoltaic cells are arranged into a geometric pattern to form this artwork
How does it work?
When the sun goes down, a ring of electroluminescent paper embedded in the window hanging starts to glow, powered by the energy that was captured by the photovoltaic (PV) cells throughout the day.
Why is it needed?
It was designed to show how the latest generation of clear, pliable PVs can have artistic and decorative applications, rather than just functional ones.
How does it improve life?
For an energy source to be truly renewable, it must produce more energy than it consumes during its lifecycle.
The energy payback time of organic photovoltaics is much shorter than traditional photovoltaics and they are made so they can be easily recycled and taken apart.
