Self-Healing Solar Panels with Microalgae Biofilms

Abstract

The integration of microalgae biofilms into solar panel technology represents a groundbreaking advancement in renewable energy. Self-healing solar panels address critical challenges in solar energy systems, such as degradation and efficiency loss over time due to environmental factors and physical damage. Microalgae, microscopic photosynthetic organisms, are known for their resilience and rapid regeneration, making them suitable for creating self-healing biofilms.
