The Department of Physics, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Science, has organized a scientific symposium entitled “Designing solar electricity production systems to be used at home” in the presence of a number of students and those concerned with energy production. The symposium aimed to introduce flexible solar cells with a lower cost and higher efficiency by developing solar energy production cells, rather than traditional silicon solid cells that gain many advantages, compared to traditional “costly inorganic” cells, consisting of thick, oversized and solid panels requiring fixed stabilization points, as measured by those that can be manufactured in the form of thin, bendable and integrated rolls to be part of the surrounding environment.
The symposium was presented by Prof. Dr. Falah Abdul Hassan, for identifying the problem of electricity production in Iraq, finding household energy at a lower cost and working on clean energy that relies on new cells that are sufficient and can produce electricity at a lower cost and can reduce the total cost of the solar system to transform it into a clean energy everywhere and can revolutionize global power generation, reduce pollution rates to minimize the impact of climate change. He also stressed that the flexibility of organic solar cells is useful in small applications, industries that traditional solar cells cannot adapt to, pointing out that the traditional cells remain more suitable if solar cell farms are built in the desert, even though organic cells can prove to be sufficient.
