Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

Will Spray-On Solar Cells Transform the World?

In recent years new solar cells have been made with polymers (plastic) instead of glass. This plastic material can be sprayed onto surfaces, just like paint, which opens many promising possibilities.

Polymer photovoltaic cells open up many vistas of new possibilities. Not only can they be manufactured inexpensively, solar cells can now even be printed on surfaces with inkjet printers, as recently demonstrated by Konarka, an innovative manufacturer of solar devices.

It will certainly open up a whole new range of options for solar.
