A 12 year old boy develops a new kind of solar power generation

Photovoltaic power generation attracts attention as an eco-friendly generator due to global warming in recent years, but there seems to be some person who made a breakthrough invention on solar power generation.

A 12 - year - old boy who developed the new solar power generation. The boy said that by developing something, it made the solar power generation system which dramatically and efficiently generate electricity.

Details are from the following.2008_DF_William_Yuan.pdf (application / pdf object)

It was William Yuan that developed new solar power generation. He seems to be familiar with mechanical engineering / biology / programming / media design etc at the age of 12 years old.

In solar power generation so far, only visible light was used, but Yuen said that in addition to this it developed a revolutionary system that can also absorb UV (ultraviolet light). Furthermore, it also designed carbon nanotubes which doubles the conversion efficiency of electricity, and it became a system which dramatically increased efficiency than the conventional system.

In the system developed by Yuan you can absorb 500 times more sunlight than the conventional solar panel, it seems that you can generate 9 times more power.

His goal is to market this new photovoltaic system. If this photovoltaic power generation system becomes popular in general, ecological measures may be accelerated.
