A startup has created a method for using a particle accelerator to slice microscopically thin silicon wafers that reduce the cost to manufacture solar panels by more than 60 by eliminating waste.
Particle accelerator solar panel.
Startup rayton solar is running a crowdfunding campaign to attract investors to its proton accelerator technology used to more efficiently slice off silicon for solar panel production making the manufacturing process 60 cheaper.
Thanks to an interesting property of particle physics charged particles like protons.
As well as this their methods appear to reduce waste materials by 50 100 times in the manufacturing stage.
The particle accelerator is fired face on at the boule and the accelerator embeds protons inside the silicon.
