Amaseli elanga abonakalayo akuwona umqondo omusha, kepha ngenxa yezinkinga ezibonakalayo zoqweqwe lwe-semiconductor, lo mqondo kube nzima ukuhumushela ekusebenzeni. Kodwa-ke, muva nje, ososayensi e-Incheon National University eSouth Korea sebenze iseli elisebenza kahle nelisobala ngokuhlanganisa izinto ezimbili ezingaba semiconductor (titanium dioxide kanye ne-nickel oxide).

Amaphaneli elanga abonakalayo anweba kakhulu uhla lokusebenzisa amandla elanga. Amaseli elanga abonakalayo angasetshenziswa kuyo yonke into kusuka ezikrinini zefoni ephathekayo kuya kumabhilidi amakhulu nezimoto. Ithimba labacwaningi lifunde amandla okufaka isicelo wamapaneli elanga asetshenziswa nge-metal oxide transparent photovoltaic (TPV). Ngokufaka ungqimba oluncane lwe-silicon phakathi kwama-semiconductors amabili asobala ensimbi oxide, amaseli elanga angasetshenziswa ezimeni zesimo sezulu esingakhanyi kakhulu futhi angasebenzisa ukukhanya okuya ngobude obude. Esivivinyweni, iqembu lisebenzise uhlobo olusha lwepaneli yelanga ukushayela imoto yabalandeli, futhi imiphumela yokuhlola ikhombise ukuthi ugesi wakhiqizwa ngeqiniso, okuwusizo kakhulu kubantu ukuthi bakhokhise amadivayisi ahambayo. Ububi obukhulu bezobuchwepheshe bamanje ukusebenza kahle okuphansi, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yemvelo esobala yezendlalelo ze-zinc ne-nickel oxide. Abaphenyi bahlela ukuthuthuka ngokusebenzisa ama-nanocrystals, ama-sulfide semiconductors nezinye izinto ezintsha.

Eminyakeni yamuva nje, njengoba amazwe emhlabeni wonke enaka kakhulu izindaba zesimo sezulu futhi esheshisa inqubo ye-decarbonisation, izimboni zokuphakelwa kwamandla elanga nangaphandle ziye zanda kakhulu. Bangasinikeza ugesi oluhlaza okotshani futhi onakekela imvelo, kepha futhi basinikeze ukucabanga okusha ngokuthuthuka kwamandla amasha. Lapho isitokisi selanga esisobala sesithengisiwe, ibanga lesicelo salo lizokhuliswa kakhulu, hhayi ophahleni kuphela kepha futhi njengendawo yamafasitela noma izindonga zamakhetheni engilazi, zombili ezisebenzayo nezinhle.
