0000 The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle reveals a fundamental link between a particle's position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) as Δx~ℏ/2·Δp., suggesting that photons confined to sub-nanometer scales can attain momentum comparable to electrons in solid materials. Our preliminary experiments confirm that photons can indeed achieve significant momentum. With considerable energy and momentum, photons can facilitate transitions in materials previously considered momentum forbidden, such as in indirect band gap semiconductors like silicon. Here, transitions require both photons (for energy) and lattice phonons (for momentum). Our findings show that a photon with high momentum can increase the optical transition rate in silicon by up to four orders of magnitude. This discovery opens new avenues for enhancing the efficiency of light detection, emission, and solar energy conversion in both indirect and direct semiconductor systems.

The solar module exterior disassembling apparatus is designed for efficiently removing the frame and junction box from solar modules. It features a positioning plate that supports the module from below and adjusts vertically. The apparatus employs foldable variable frame separation blades that transition between an inner position, within the module frame, and an outer position, facilitating frame detachment. These blades, capable of folding and unfolding, ensure close contact with the frame sides during operation. A pressing actuator, equipped with multiple pressing cylinders, exerts outward pressure to disassemble the module by advancing the separation blades. This system allows for precise and controlled removal of solar module exteriors, making it ideal for recycling and maintenance processes, enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of solar module management.

The present invention provides an opening and closing valve comprising: a valve body in which a diaphragm provided in an opening/closing port formed in a flow path connecting an inlet port to an outlet port is raised or lowered by the pressure difference between an upper space and a lower space to selectively open or close the opening/closing port; an opening/closing control unit that selectively raises and lowers a plunger for opening and closing a pilot hole for draining a fluid accommodated in the upper space of the diaphragm, thereby varying the pressure in the upper space of the diaphragm; a driving unit that generates torque via power applied from an external source and provides the torque to the opening/closing control unit so that the pressure in the upper space of the diaphragm varies; a solar communication control unit that selectively supplies power to the driving unit by means of a control signal applied via wireless communication; and a pressure switch unit that electrically connects the solar communication control unit and the driving unit by means of the fluid introduced via the inlet port of the valve body.
