Soon, solar-energized ‘power plastic’ will be used to radically extend the battery life of laptops and cell phones! — Entrepreneurs promise. Ultra-cheap printed solar cells will help in the construction of huge power-generating facilities — interestingly at a fraction of what it costs today!
The printed solar cells are produced not with silicon, but with conductive metals and organic polymers. As early as next year, startups plan to begin manufacturing printed solar products. These products will be used in power-generating facilities, rooftop installations and portable gadgets.
