Net 0 Energy is reporting that organic energy is about to get a boost with the launch of GO-OPV’s ORENgE system in North America.
Organic energy uses a thin film panel to capture the sun’s rays and convert the rays to power, similar to traditional solar power. The panels could be used for windows or trucks, phone or computer chargers, or it can be building-integrated photovoltaics in glass.
“Organic energy makes power from light at any angle, in any way. It’s totally flexible because it’s just printed ink. Conceptually, it’s a whole new thought process on how we make power,” said Paul Frischer, President of GO-OPV, an organic energy company.
What makes organic energy different from solar power is that it is light-dependent, not sun dependent, meaning it will always create power as long as there is some form of natural light.
Is This a New Concept
Organic energy isn’t a new concept. Other companies use the technology as a way to reduce glare and heat through the use of smart windows in buildings.
GO-OPV manufactures their film through a supplier in Brazil. The film is made by printing organic ink onto plastic rolls. The roll is then sent to the US, where it is manufactured into the specific application needed for customers.
Producing the OPV also has a lower impact on the environment compared to silicon solar panels.
In Brazil, the company has installed systems on skylights, malls, and building windows. In the US, they have installed systems in three buildings: two in New York and one at its office in Delray Beach, Florida.
At the company’s first installations in Hempstead, New York, the company applied its OPV film on the inside of windows to absorb sunlight and convert it to power using its ORENgE system, which uses power over ethernet to send the electricity into the office. The system can be used either as a main power source or a battery back-up system while remaining on the power grid.
The company says it also plans on putting panels on top of trucks to power the onboard electronics. The technology has already been used on PepsiCO trucks in Brazil.
