Solar panels are those devices that are used to absorb the sun’s rays and convert them into electricity or heat. These panels are actually a collection of solar (or photovoltaic) cells, which can be used to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
Critical materials for photovoltaic applications like silicon nanowires are difficult to design and simulate with reliable accuracy. Optiwave’s powerful suite of software is the go-to choice for researchers and businesses working on the cutting edge of photovoltaics; here’s why:

How can software help with solar panels and photovoltaics?
The right software is an invaluable part of modern solar panel design. From designing efficient silicon nanowires to optimizing energy delivery, engineers can use tools to see what works before making a huge investment. After the design of the panels, software can be used to simulate solar panels in the field and determine energy savings compared to other options.
