BLACK SOLAR CELL

In this day and age natural resources have become a scarcity. Now our species have to rely on solar, wind, water and nuclear power to survive. But all of these current energy sources are either not efficient enough or too great a risk for the environment. That is why Babel Research has made it one of their main goals to create an efficient everlasting energy source with relative low costs.

After a breakthrough in the organic chemistry sector, we saw the potential of organic solar cells as a substitute for current ones. With the help of independent benefactors the first experiments with an organic photovoltaic cell were held in 2010. The results showed a relatively high sunlight energy conversion efficiency of about 71%. In the years following, Babel Research managed to enhance the cell to an efficiency of 87% in 2012, using new types of polymers. We named this new type of cell the Black Solar Cell, due to its appearance and maximum sunlight absorption.

Because of its success the decision was made to build a field of Black Solar Cells in the Sahara desert which would span over 4000 acres to accommodate 30% of the world's energy need. Nowadays most of the technological devices are incorporated with Black Solar Cells, thus resulting in the global use of this Babel product.
