American Freescale Semiconductor (Freescale Semiconductor) recently released a new power conversion technology . This chip manufacturer claims the technology can make solar cells and other devices running street lights at low voltage , which can greatly improve efficiency. This means that only one section of the battery can provide power solar street as a mobile phone or other portable devices. Greater potential of this technology is to increase the power output of the solar panel roof as possible . Solar panels usually are more than a dozen sections composed of interconnected solar cells . If part of the solar panels covered by the clouds or shade , all the total generating capacity of the battery will decrease solar garden lights . Freescale analog / mixed-signal and general manager of the power sector in Oman ? Then Harvey (ArmanNaghavi) said that if the use of Freescale's power converter solar cells to each section , then no cover part can still generate electricity.
This is because the use of Freescale converter , a solar cell operating voltage required is greatly reduced, only 320 mV , and the need to start a conventional solar cell 700 mV.
Although this technique may sound unremarkable , but its influence is widespread , can reduce energy consumption, and thus kicked off a new generation of solar-powered equipment. But let solar cells to power a variety of devices , such as laptops, street lights , etc. , but it faces enormous obstacles. Because a lot of equipment needed for the operation of solar cells in order to provide sufficient power . After all, no one was willing carrying a solar street light solar panels to charge the Apple laptop .
Freescale Application Engineering Manager Kevin Parmenter special (KevinParmenter) believes Freescale's technology can change this situation . He told the "Green Koala " column , said: "For example , garage door opener does not have to use the battery , you can add a solar strip on the remote control ." ( Last week, Samsung said it would sell with solar panels phone, but consultation and testing time is not clear. )
Other uses for the more color with science fiction : the self-powered nano- sensors can obtain the surrounding environment through the technology of heat and friction .
This converter will be available in the second half of 2009 . Potential customers include solar street light battery manufacturer SunPower Corporation and Suntech companies, biomedical companies and defense contractors . Freescale is headquartered in Austin, Texas , in 2004 separated from the Motorola Company .
That Harvey said: "This is beneficial to the entire environmental movement in many areas had no contact with us have expressed great concern ."
