Superconducting solar container device

What is a solarcontainer?

The Solarcontainer is a photovoltaic power plant that was specially developed as a mobile power generator with collapsible PV modules as a mobile solar system, a grid-independent solution represents. Solar panels lay flat on the ground. This position ensures maximum energy harvest Panels lays flat on the ground.

What are superconducting devices?

Superconducting devices are electronic devices that harness the zero-resistance properties of superconductors. Superconducting devices are used for highly sensitive optical sensors, detectors of magnetic fields and low-noise amplifiers. Superconducting circuits are one possible type of qubit, the building blocks of quantum computers.

Can superconducting materials be used in science and Technology?

It continues still, with an immense range of applications to NASA science and technology. The small energy gap and strong non-linearity of superconducting materials render them uniquely suited for ultra-sensitive detectors and electronics.

Are transparent superconductor oxides a viable solution for photon absorption?

Transparent superconducting oxides would be an ideal solution to avoid substantial losses caused by photon absorption of the superconducting components. Here we present design principles for such materials and discuss the foreseeable prospects of transparent superconductor electronics.

Can superconducting diodes convert alternating current to direct current?

One such device is the superconducting diode, which could be used to convert alternating current (a.c.) signals into direct current (d.c.) signals at cryogenic temperatures. Two works in this issue of Nature Electronics highlight the evolving capabilities of superconducting diodes — and the growing potential of superconducting electronics.

How many households can a solar Container Supply?

Based on an average power consumption of a 4-person household of 4000 kWh per year and a location in Southern Germany, the solar container can supply approx. 32 households with climate-friendly electricity. At a location in Southern Europe it can even be up to 50 households due to the high solar radiation.
