Do you know the new shape of the solar cells? Read on...




A solar cell is any device that directly converts the energy in light into electrical energy through the process of photovoltaics.The newly invented solar cells are leaf and flower shaped.

Japan’s Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) has developed leaf and flower shaped organic solar cells. An AIST employee displays a prototype model at a solar power exhibition.

This team have created this crazy artificial houseplant with high-efficiency organic thin-film solar cells as leaves. It's got about 58 square centimetres of power-generating area, and each flexible leaf has a complex structure protected by a thin plastic layer. This makes them durable, and the team foresees uses as eco-friendly power generators embedded into buildings, clothes, leisure goods and toys.
