A novel design of Super-Capacitor used to enhance solar-energy restoration of photo-voltaic cells

Abstract

Scarcity of conventional energy makes world feel the urge of alternatives that is non-conventional source of energy. In this paper, we propose a technique to efficiently store solar-energy by introducing Enhanced-Super-Capacitors (ESCs). A new technology, the super capacitor, has emerged with the potential to enable major advancement in energy storage. Super capacitors are governed by the same fundamental equations as conventional capacitors, but utilize higher surface area electrodes and thinner dielectrics to achieve greater capacitances. This allows for energy densities greater than those of conventional capacitors and power densities greater than those of batteries. As a result, super capacitors may become an attractive power solution for an increasing number of applications. The proposed model of the super capacitor would help in reducing the cost of Solar cells and also increasing their efficiency, thus would be a step ahead in meeting the energy demands of the ever-increasing population both in an effective and sustainable manner.
