Iseli elincanyana le-solar cell (amafilimu amafilimu amancane elanga) kungenye ukusetshenziswa kwe-elekthronikhi eguquguqukayo. Emhlabeni wanamuhla, amandla sekuphenduke isihloko sokukhathazeka komhlaba wonke, futhi iChina ayibhekene nokushoda kwamandla kuphela, kodwa futhi nokungcoliswa kwemvelo. Amandla elanga, njengohlobo lwamandla ahlanzekile, angakwazi ukukunciphisa ngempumelelo ukuphikisana ngokushoda kwamandla esibonelweni sokungcoliswa kwemvelo zero.
Njengendlela esetshenziswa kakhulu yokusebenzisa amandla elanga, amaphaneli elanga angamboza indawo enkulu ngezindleko eziphansi kakhulu ukusebenzisa amandla elanga. Njengamanje, amaphaneli e-amorphous silicon amafilimu athuthukile athuthukiswe ngempumelelo futhi angena emakethe.
Amaphaneli we-Solar we-Thin-film asuselwa kubuchwepheshe be-elekthronikhi eguquguqukayo angahlangabezana nezidingo zesizukulwane esiphakeme. Isibonelo, amaphaneli elanga anjalo athambile angasetshenziswa ezitshalweni zamandla elanga ezindaweni eziwugwadulene.
Ngaphezu kwalokhu, futhi kungasebenzisa ngokugcwele ukuguquguquka kwayo nokukhanya kwayo, futhi kuyihlanganise ngezingubo. Gqoka lolu hlobo lwezingubo ukuhamba noma ukuzivocavoca elangeni, namandla ezinto ezincane zikagesi (ezifana nabadlali be-mp3 namakhompiyutha encwajana) abangathwalwa ngamaphaneli elanga emincane ezingutsheni, okutholakele.
