Hmmm….Harnessing the power of outside to stay inside?
“A 26-inch solar-powered LCD television that can be powered by a thin-film photovoltaic panel! Sharp’s plan is to distribute the TV and solar module to areas that have no easy access to grid power. The triple-junction thin film solar
cell module is the cost effective panel to date that is being mass
produced by Sharp…. The television itself is an ultra low-powered LCD screen that uses less than a third of the energy required by conventional
LCDs. The area required to power this television would be similar to
that of the TV screen, something which is not possible with current TVs.”
So, there you go. Whatcha think? Is a television the best way to test out this new technology?
