Spray on solar cells are one of the more exciting solar technologies that can be employed as building integrated photovoltaics. Thin film solar is incorporated into solar inks that can literally be painted onto walls and windows of structures allowing the sides of buildings to function as solar collectors to generate enough electricity to power [...]
Step aside Joe Camel! There’s a better use for tobacco plants these days. In fact, researchers at University of California Berkeley have developed a new solar technology that can be used to create biodegradable spray-on solar cells from the ubiquitous crop. Smokin’ hot solar cells are actually based on a virus that attacks tobacco crops. [...]
