Nanosolar to print photovoltaics
Nanosolar, a small company in Palo Alto changes the solar cell game by passing on Crystalline Silicon. Instead they plan to print thin film materials and follow the high speed fabrication processes used in some of the larger scale electronics manufacturing. This episode of Quest previews how this process might work. They plan to bring these flexible photovoltaics to market next year. Their hopes are that you’ll never notice this product because it would seamlessly integrate with the world around us. View the fullsize video.
