Loading ...Sharp has announced its new LR0GC02 Solar Module for Mobile Devices that features a thickness of 0.8 mm, the industry’s thinnest level at the moment.
This newly developed solar module makes effective use of compact semiconductor packaging technology to achieve a thickness of just 0.8 mm, the thinnest level in the industry. The solar cells that make up the module are based on polycrystalline silicon and deliver a maximum power of 300 mW , and as an auxiliary power source for mobile devices, will contribute to saving energy.
This is a great move forward! Good for Sharp!
I read an interesting article talking about how small units like this are good for the entire small-voltage market.

In not too long, your iPod will have a solar cell!
