These solar cells, called organic photovoltaic, are unlike any other.
. . . They are made up of small organic molecules which act as semi conductors,
. . . when struct with solar radiation.
The amazing thing is that the molecules can easily be dissolved into a solution and
. . . 3D printed into any shape, size, or color desired.
Even if it’s cloudy they still work.
. . . It’s not that they are going to produce more power,
. . . but they are more efficient at generating power from the light that is available.
. . . So they would work better than normal soar cells do in cloud.
The material is much easier to install,
. . . can be customized via 3d printing, and
. . . is expected to be put to wide use,
. . . within the next 5 years.
