Solar Cell Phone Chargers and Solar Powered Cell Phones

The Spanish telecommunications engineers are leading the development of solar energy in the world and its collegiate organs have made it apparent by granting the title of “Telecommunications Engineer of the Year” to Antonio Luque, who has 13 patents in the energy, half of them in operation.

The president of the Association of Telecommunications Engineers, Enrique Gutierrez Bueno, awarding the distinction, emphasized the role of this telecommunications engineer and professor of physical electronics, in the development of solar energy technology in the world, the invention of the bifacial solar cell that led to the foundation of the company Isofoton. This company is now the second largest producer of solar cells in Europe and eighth in the world, which exports 80 percent.

Luque is the founder of the Solar Energy Institute of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, which promotes development projects in this sector.

Antonio Luque said that solar energy and telecommunications are linked from the initial investigation and affirmed that no one can believe that “this energy is just an ecologist’s thing but it is the future “and will have a key role as a source of electricity by the middle of the century. Luque said that photovoltaic energy is growing at annual rates of 33.4 percent and that the biggest problem we have at present is the shortage of purified silicon for solar cells.

He explained that half of the silicon is already used on these cells and the Institute for Solar Energy is promoting in Getafe the creation of a technology company to purify the silicon, targeting the sale of plants to purify the material around the world to break the existing oligopoly and get prices down.

Professor Luque defended the importance of Spain in the world of solar energy because it is the fourth manufacturer in the world and regretted the county pessimistic attitude towards the research being done.

He recalled that in 2002 his team presented a project for the European Union to detect which will be the photovoltaic technologies of the future which was adopted and is being developed in 19 European centers. He also emphasized the importance of the project to industrialize the new solar cells in Castilla La Mancha under the support of the government which will be of great importance in the future. Luque said that despite the prominence that the telecommunications engineers have in this sector, some have had trouble endorsing solar energy projects for which he defended the need to assert its role as the solar energy is an issue of telecommunications.

Mobile powered by solar energy

China developed the first mobile phone that works with solar energy

According to an article published in news.xinhuanet.com, a Chinese company claims to have developed a mobile phone that is charged with solar energy and provides 40 minutes of talk time after exposure to the sun for an hour. Hi-Tech Wealth, a well-known provider of telecommunications products in China, said that his mobile phone is the first in the world to recharge its battery with solar energy. According to company sources, the phone has a kind of solar panel located at the top of the casing that can be loaded with light from other sources besides the sun.

Many companies worldwide are working on developing similar mobile phones but their products are still in an experimental phase. Zhang Zhengyu, chairman of Hi-Tech Wealth, said the company began to investigate the use of light as an energy source in 2000 and has invested hundreds of millions of yen in the project.
